Hmmmm... I neglected to mention in the list of actions taken that I did edit the would-be /etc/fstab -- exactly as you recommended. I was able to mount the new file systems (this was required for file copying).

Given that I repopulated the new disk manually, by a series of rsync commands, I suspect that I failed copying some of the critical boot data. But how to identify that?
