I selected <go back> and, on a lark, tried it again. GRUB installed and the rest of the installation proceeded normally. Looks like two problems: 1. Selecting a non-existent partition causes a loop from which there is no exit except rebooting. 2. The first selection of (hd1,5) for GRUB caused an error. This was a logical partition on the second disk. Going back and re-selecting Install GRUB installed it without any further prompts. Thanks again!
