Thanks.  I'll definitely try this, but probably won't have time until
tomorrow.

In fact, that's exactly what happened on my good Etch machine.  It looked
just like the usual grub menu I get from the hard drive, so I probably failed

supposed to get a shell prompt to execute the grub commands you had suggested
earlier.

Thanks.
