Well, guess there's not much more I can do.
Supposing it doesn't come up, would a rescue CD be required to fix it?
I left a copy of the old /etc/fstab as /etc/fstab.bak, and setup a
login with sudo rights to perform the copy, but if the discs don't
come up, will login be possible? (I remember the NOC saying there was
a prompt, "enter the root password for maintenance", or something like
that after a previous failure to boot the 2.6 kernel where the issue
was the Adaptec RAID and general kernel I2O drivers clashing.)

I use lilo actually because it does everything I need, and it doesn't
care that the discs are on a raid array. Grub at least used to
require a special driver. My lilo.conf is below. So would I need to
change my boot and root to the sdaX scheme as well?
# cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
root=/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3
map=/boot/System.map
