Well, that appears to have taken care of it. :-) A bit brute-force, I
suppose, but given that it was easy enough to remedy that way, I guess
I'll take what I can get.
I guess there must have been a remnant of something that looked like
Linux in the sdb1 partition. All I know is that I this time when I ran
update-grub this time, it's no longer seeing a ghost OS on that partition.
Thanks to all those who helped and provided
information/feedback/suggestions!
