You're SPOT ON! I'm still having other issues (still GRUB related) but I want to hammer on it for at least a few hours before throwing up the white surrender flag. Doesn't help the Virtual Machine has device names longer than a MICROSOFT GUID.. but that's not a problem as far as I know. I just made some headway! I'm still not able to boot but I think I'm close. Getting wrong device errors now - but I'll keep chiseling away at this...
