I guess I should have known better. I proceeded anyway and now my system won't boot.
I thought LU was supposed to be "safe" :-( Now I just get a GRUB command prompt. I have no idea what to do with that. I can boot in single user mode and mount the various slices, but I don't know what I am supposed to do to get this thing to boot now. I have tried running /mnt/sbin/luactivate after mounting each slice, but it complains each time that it's not a valid boot slice for the mirror.
