I'm also booting from /dev/sdb1 (Slackware LILO). Normally, okey. But,
if I boot with USB key stick in or removeable harddisk in, I get a blank
screen, also. That's because what was 2nd disk is now 3rd or 4th disk.
I seem to remember Fedora's GRUB being more sensitive to boot order than
Slackware's LILO.
