This is weird, I swapped the drives to make sure I could see the
drive.  It started to boot, detected the ssd, and failed to mount the
root partition (it was now at /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda).  So I
swapped them back (SSD in ultrabay) and I can now see the SSD in
/dev/hda.  (Am pretty sure it wasn't sitting in that location
previously, perhaps it wasn't seated all the way, though the bios
detected it)

I saw mention in the ml a few months back about ext3/4.  Anyone want
to give their advice on which to use now that a little time has
passed.
