Okay, that matches mine. Thanks.

Interesting. What tool is showing that? I have been using parted, which
shows (for my first ZFS disk):
Number Start End Size File system Flags
1 0.00B 502MB 502MB ext2 boot
2 502MB 147GB 146GB zfs
So, other than the different format, I notice:
1) I show ZFS where your sdd2 shows "Unassigned"
2) You have a 'c' whole disk partition, and I don't. I wonder if that's
important?
3) You have an "Id" field [in your tools output] that I don't.

Thanks. There are a few differences compared to mine, notably that the
"search" lines in your menuentry have a UUID of all 9's, and mine has a
UUID. And I have hd0/ahci0 vs your hd3/ahci3, but that is expected. I
also see that I'm due a kernel update (my grub.cfg still lists 4.16.0-2),
but since I'm not getting a kernel loaded at all, that's not my problem.

Yeah. This is about the same as what I've tried, but I'm not even able
to have grub load from the disk in my case. I've been thinking about
booting back to "reinstall the whole thing from CD", since my original
install was many months ago, but haven't done that yet.
Adrian, the ISOs I see still are dated mid-May. Let me know if you may
have time to regenerate those at some point.
Thanks Romain.
