Then what you have done previously will work on the proviso that you
update grub to let it know where to find the kernel to boot. probably
the easiest way for you to do this is to boot from the first working
USB key and specify on the kernel command line root=/dev/sdc1

then as root run:
update-grub

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to
ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my
apartment it is.
