	Thank you.  That is a tremendous thing to know.  I
thought there was something serial in grub but I couldn't
remember.  This is the first time I ever had any real trouble
with grub and I can put this drive back on the working linux box
and modify that file, assuming the change would take place on the
next run of grub.
