Oh, I forgot to mention, my intention is not to have a dual boot system,
but instead just abandon FC5 on this system and boot to FC6 only.
Also one other detail... At the time I installed FC6, the SATA drive
was not configured in BIOS to be the boot disk; the IDE disk was still
configured as the boot disk. Could that have made a difference in
whether or not a master boot record was written?
