Just to clarify, that's *not* copy the boot sector, but actually create
it using GRUB? So using something like:
grub> root (partition where new / is)
grub> setup (disk with /boot on)
Hmmm, this might be a good thing to test in a virtual machine first
methinks!

So I need a better backup strategy :) As another option, if I used a
RAID 1 device (e.g. md0) as a physical volume for LVM, and one of the
disks in md0 went down, would LVM carry on regardless while I replace
the disk?
