Carrying on from above:

Here's how to patch and install a system safely from the LiveCD (or live USB) of Ubuntu 9.10.

I booted up the LiveCD and patched the live system as above. That made the live system safe to use. I then installed from the LiveCD (no errors - good).

However instead of immediately rebooting, I patched the SSD from the live system:

$ sudo mkdir /target

(In my case it already existed from the install)

$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /target

$ sudo chroot /target

You are now in the new (SSD) system as root, but safely running on the patched LiveCD. Follow the steps above, but leave out 'sudo', because you are root. When finished you can leave chroot by:

# exit

$ sudo /lib/udev/nano devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart (or some other editor of your choice)
