Any attempts to use 'find' from the <grub> prompt give 'file not found'.   
This is after mounting with  root (hd0,0)

ls -l  shows all the files are present in /boot/boot/grub  (*and* /boot/grub 
as well since I copied 'em there!)  i.e.  stage1,  stage2 and a swag of 
stage1_5's.
(And yes, I do have /boot mounted on /dev/hda1, as  df  confirms.)

Thanks for the ideas.   :)
