I have multiple Debian installs on 2 IDE HDs on the same channel.
I want to turn the SLAVE into MASTER & viceversa.
Here's my planned checklist - am I missing anything?



For ease of changing things around, I keep a simple, self-installing
graphic boot _selector_ (GAG) in the MBR of /dev/hda, and I keep the
boot _loaders_ proper (lilo & grub), into each of the boot partitions.


For each installed system, I plan to:

1) change fstab file
Backup, swap all references to hdax and hdbx.

2) reinstall the bootloader
- Backup config/menu files.
- Change the config/menu files to reflect situation after the swap.
- Reinstall bootloader into the respective boot device.


I will then physically swap HDs, and use shorting settings for cable
select or swap master and slave.

Anything else?
