Well, it happened.  I installed a little firewall with a small drive
mounted as /var.  It's been used a few times, and squid + squidguard's
already built itself a nest on there.  The thing booted up today with a
HD failure.  I cannot spot the drive in CMOS or in Linux, although dmesg
does mention the following error:
"/dev/hdb a non-IDE drive CHS 1001/16/17" (CHS figures are correct,
spotted by the OS long after the BIOS failed to detect the drive.)
The box hasn't been around long enough to get backed up.  It's only a
few days old, and fresh off the bench.  How does one rebuild a /var
partition?  FWIW, it's a RH 6.2 install on a 486x33, 20MB.
