Hi KS-
Thanks for this. I haven't tried it yet, but it's already revealed
something. Your paragraph:

Led me to believe I must have accidentally installed Grub in the MBR on
the Mini's drive. Anyway, Christoph Pfisterer's disktype shows a Grub
there pointing to a 2nd disk. I also get a Tux w/HD icon when my Linux
disk is offline!
Also point of clarification: In the above, are you installing Grub to
the device /dev/sdb, or to the root partition dev/sdb#?
Best! Charles
