Whether initiated after power-on OR a restart the observed sequence is:
1. Appearance of the Grub2 menu with a choice of 4 instances of Debian.
2. Select instance installed on the SD card.
3. Screen clears, this message appears against the Debian 8 background.
error: no such device: 380e2a6d-f851-4fd1-9db2-869a0982b511.
Press any key to continue ...
4. Otherwise the instance of Debian on the SD card boots routinely.
This is a GRUB error message which cannot find the UUID specified in a
"search" command.
In order to investigate, can you
- report the menu entry code for the SD card system in
/boot/grub/grub.cfg (the one from the system on the hard drive owning
GRUB, not the one on the SD card) ;
On theory "too much better than too little" I see:

- while the SD card is inserted, in the GRUB menu press "c" to enter a
GRUB shell and report the result of the "ls" command.
Did not see any way to capture the output. So made manual copy. The
following appeared on a single line.
(hd0) (hd0, msdos9) (hd0, msdos8) (hd0, msdos7) (hd0, msdos6)
(hd0, msdos5) (hd0, msdos1) (hd1) (hd1, msdos1)
Any suggested reading on the "BASH like shell" I just used?
My initial DuckDuckGo search was *NOT* encouraging ;/
If retirement is not for learning, what use is it?
Thank you.
