I guess I'd have to read between the lines here:

The boot device:

april:/farhome/hendrik# fdisk -l /dev/sdd

Disk /dev/sdd: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders

One of the drives the RAID containing the new system is on (the other is 
similar):

april:/farhome/hendrik# fdisk -l /dev/sdc

Disk /dev/sdc: 750.2 GB, 750156374016 bytes
