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.
