That was it!  Thanks.  I hadn't heard about IDE becoming scsi, or
rather I hadn't heard that it had happened.

This was caused by me putting a second HD in the system.  I couldn't
figure out how to give it a UUID, so I just used the partition number.

Is there a way to attach a UUID to the partition now so this doesn't
happen again?
