Good afternoon, Stuart.

I tried that and found that I can't do that with the boot drive, else 
it will no longer boot.  I assume that I have to edit /etc/fstab 
and/or grub.conf and maybe some other stuff, to get it to boot.

I was able to get that to work with the old FC5 drive, though, so now 
I can see it and mount it.

So, my main problem is solved (THANKS, everybody), and all that's 
left is an exercise in curiosity regarding how to rename the boot 
drive, if I want to do that, while leaving it in a state where it 
will still boot.
