Nope, I took the old /dev/sda out (along with the liveCD), and the system
booted up from the SSD as the new /dev/sda. It's been running beautifully
for a few days now. I put in more RAM as well, so as to put all the gentoo
compilations on tmpfs, which should reduce wear and tear (well write and
rewrite) on the SSD. Wonderful breath of life into the hardware.
