It would be fair to say that I don't need to wear sunglasses while working on 
my busted machine.

It may be that part of my difficulty is that I don't generally use tab 
completion in the shell, so I wouldn't have thought of that as an avenue to 
help.

Also, my experience with the Grub shell has been GRUB-RESCUE> :-(

Years ago my bitter experience with this was doing a dist-upgrade on my machine 
and finding it bricked.  Turned out that for whatever reason the RAID support 
was enumerating MD 0/1 as MD 127/126.  It certainly wasn't obvious and a better 
sysadmin than me didn't figure it out either.

In this case, I have not yet fixed Grub, but the CD allows be to boot either of 
my systems, so I have some breathing room before having to recreate my Grub 
configuration.
