Thanks, Don.  Unfortunately it didn't help.  It was a forlorn hope, but the
'old' box was showing only 1 drive at bootup, so I was just hoping that only
one drive had failed and the other could still be mounted.  I tried to mount
partitions under /mnt/test, guessing that this was its purpose.  hdb wouldn't
mount at all.  /dev was showing hda, hda1, hda2........ but I couldn't get
anything there to mount either.  It looks as though I've lost my work ;-(
