I tried this.  I replaced /dev/sdc by /dev/sda in devices.map
on the USB-drive and made grub-install.  It did not work.

As a result, I can no longer boot from the built-in drive!!!

This is a terrible desaster for me.  The built-in drive contains 
my working F10 installation.

I booted from a F10 Installation CD in rescue mode.
The data is still present (under /mnt/sysimage).

Can anyone please explain how can I make the built-drive 
bootable again?

Daniel
