4.9, since I said no to everything. I re-created device nodes after
booting, so hopefully things are okay.

Yes, that was nagging me earlier, but somehow I could not fix it -
there is too much to understand for the i386 boot process, and the
partition and disklabel is a source of confusion for me.
Thanks for your pointers, I atleast had heart to continue trying to
fix (agree, I did not understand all - but since the CD boot was
working fine, and I have a full backup of my data, I decided to
probe.)
