Only thing I know for sure is there's more to it than just
changing fstab. When I was runnin 7.1 I swap'd master for slave on
second ide (ie, no bootable drive was involved). I made the changes
in fstab, before shutting down to make the hardware change. Bootup
failed. I put my install CD in and chose upgrade, but didn't select
any additional packages. A few minutes later I had a working system
again :) So while the hardware change was successful, I really
don't know all that was involved.
Since you are swap'g the bootable drive around, you'll surely
have to re-install lilo/grub. 'Course, an upgrade will take care of
that too. I believe you'd be better off getting advice from someone
who's actually swap'd boot drives tho. BTW, when you do swap, don't
forget to change the drives' jumpers ;)
