Duh is me!

I was proceeding on the assumption that the menu numbering started with 
'1', since I actually read that while searching for information. (Yes, 
somebody posted on an Ubuntu how-to site that grub2 menu numbering 
starts with '1'.)

Anyway, everything is peachy now. I have a new strategy for running fsck 
only when I want to on remote systems.

Thank you for your help, Elimar.

Best,
