I really shouldn't post just before a trip. Anyway, I was able to get the old boot disk to boot, and now have copies of /etc/lvm/*.

So, it looks like I need to run:
pvcreate --restore /etc/lvm/backup/VG2forMyth --uuid Liz0DB-jL1b-1NFx-zDoX-Pxco-dCWX-3nKGUd /dev/sdc1
Doing so yields:
Couldn't find device with uuid 'Liz0DB-jL1b-1NFx-zDoX-Pxco-dCWX-3nKGUd'.
Couldn't find device with uuid 'K7e4nC-HKJV-DUv8-3WLt-0STK-JMTz-MB3Ekx'.
Couldn't find device with uuid 'Mh0xn3-Rk4d-D8h3-Cu2p-3l1l-5ZKg-mu0WlE'.
Couldn't find device with uuid 'Mh0xn3-Rk4d-D8h3-Cu2p-3l1l-5ZKg-mu0WlE'.
Can't initialize physical volume "/dev/sdc1" of volume group "vg_mythbe" without -ff
So, it looks like the new install did overwrite the 250gig drives. Hopefully it didn't also format with ext3, thus overwriting the JFS that was on there and loosing all my photos/music/video/data.
