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.


(hd0) (hd0, msdos9) (hd0, msdos8) (hd0, msdos7) (hd0, msdos6)
(hd0, msdos5) (hd0, msdos1) (hd1) (hd1, msdos1)
Some BIOS expose a removable media only when booting from it, so my theory was that your BIOS did not expose the SD card and GRUB could not see it. The result of ls proves me wrong.
Can you also report the output of "ls (hd1,msdos1)" to check what GRUB sees of the partition on the card ? 


Any suggested reading on the "BASH like shell" I just used?
The GRUB manual at <https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html> describes some of the commands, but not all. The shell can display the command list with "help" and information about a specific command with "help <command>".
