That seems to be it; I used fdisk to mark /dev/sda1 as "bootable" and
it boots!  (Heck, it was rather recently that I concluded "bootable"
didn't mean anything.)

Next question: How do I get my ks.cfg to convince Kickstart to set
this bit?  (Or do I have to figure out how to do it in my postinstall
script?)


Thanks to all!
