OP:  I can't agree more.  Just a couple weeks ago, my system wouldn't
boot except to a rescue thingy.  I had to boot another media, mount
everything, do some changes and reboot.  If I didn't have notes, it
would have been a nightmare.  Keep in mind, I have a LOT of drives.  I
try to keep the OS on sda at all times tho.  It's a good start.  Given I
just rearranged to add a SSD drive, I'm updating my notes, again.  Also,
keep a known working bootable media available.  It's best to have both a
CD/DVD and a USB stick. 

Always, ALWAYS, have up to date notes on drives, especially those you
would need to boot something else and fix a unbootable system.  Best
advice you may ever get along with having something else to boot from.
