--meaning trying to reuse f13 /boot partition?

your f14 looks like it doesnt have a /boot partition,
 instead a /boot dir under sdb9.
Is that consistent with f14 /etc/fstab (nothing listed for /boot) ?

That /boot directory also isnt consistent with "reusing f13 /boot partition"

If your entire problem is your messing up where to install the bootloader
just redo it:

from your f13, with your f14 sdb9 unmounted,
or booting from a knoppix cd..

I think the following will work:

# grub>
root (hd1,8)
setup (hd1,8)
quit

this should install the bootloader on 1st sector of sdb9
reboot,
see if f14 boots
