OK did that. For some reason fstab already had the UUID in it. It was
menu.lst which referred to the drive as hda3 which I had to change to
sda3. Now it is referred to as the UUID. After a few false starts
(typos) Gutsy boots fine. I also ensured the menu.lst in the Debian Sid
partition is identical to the one in the Gutsy partition. I do wish
there were a simpler way of booting the two systems.
Thanks for the fix Karl.
Cheers
