Thanks, Darac!  That's really helpful. 

There are some keys on an American keyboard that I simply cannot 
remember.  Must be my age or something. ;-)  I am also so scared of 
GRUB2 that I have so far not dared to do anything with it other than 
let it run.  If I can now demand that it at least uses a keyboard 
that I do not have to memorise (because I can _see_ it!) I am one 
stage nearer using it.  Great. :-)
