But indeed there is no /dev/sdb; there's only one (logical) disk
present, /dev/sda.
I've also come across this, and it seems only to affect DELL 2950s. I've
not logged a bug because I couldn't work out /where/ (i.e. which package)
I should log it against.
You need to boot a Rescue CD [*] and change all occurrences of sdb to
sda in the files /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab. (At least, that's
what my memory suggests as I don't have my notes to hand.)
maybe the best thing to do is change to using labels or UUID's ?
