Maybe. I don't have any GPT-partitioned disks to check whether there is a
missing column. On DOS-partitioned disks, there is a column in between "Device"
and "Start" labeled "Boot", where any boot flags that exist are shown.
Since your HD is <2GB, one way to make all this trouble go away would be to
start all over, selecting DOS as the partitioning type, make a primary as a home
for Grub, keep LVM on logicals, and put swap either on primary or logical. The
primary with Grub you would mount on /boot for your first installation, but
until you understand better the foibles of multiboot, not those subsequent.
