Happens regularly in sid.
Was grub itself updated? A few weeks ago it was updated in sid, and the
new version was sufficiently different from the previous first-stage
bootloader that it didn't work. After a grub update, it is necessary
to do a grub-install to re-write the MBR or partition bootloader.
In January, there were a few kernel upgrades which apparently didn't
call update-grub, with the same result.
Either way, you boot into your system manually, after trying several
sets of instructions found on the Net. Once you're there, try
update-grub, or grub-install if you see there's been a recent grub
update.
