Do you mean a grub or busybox shell? I *can* boot into the proper
Debian system now, so I can run anything necessary from there too.
Will the ID used in the grub search command match that produced by the

grub or debian — I was thinking along the lines of something that
lists the device, how it's connected, capacity, etc. I'm used to a
nice big desktop system where I can browse through
gnome-device-manager :P
