Hmmmm... I neglected to mention in the list of actions taken that I did
edit the would-be /etc/fstab -- exactly as you recommended.
I was able to mount the new file systems (this was required for file
copying).
I will double check /etc/fstab just in case.

Indeed I had grub2 installed.
Given that I repopulated the new disk manually, by a series of rsync
commands, I suspect that I failed copying some of the critical boot
data. But how to identify that?
Many thanks,
