OK, then that boot partition (/dev/sda1) must be his BDI boot 
partition.  Not too clear on what may have been done to the boot block 
when he installed Ubuntu over the BDI.  Probably the only way to boot 
BDI there would be to copy over the boot file, kernel and menu entries 
from /dev/sda1 to the Ubuntu /boot directory.  I'm pretty sure I could 
do this and make it work, I used to be pretty good with grub and lilo 
back when I had real problems with grub under BDI and had to hack 
things.  Haven't needed that level of mucking around since Ubuntu.

Yeah, it really is just the command line parsing that needs to know 
where the file name ends.
