The thing we ran into at the end was getting GRUB installed. While I 
don't fully understand what Keith found, I think it had something to do 
with not reserving a certain place during partitioning for GRUB to go. 
We thought that creating a boot partition was good enough. Apparently not.

Do you have any advice on that early stage of preparing for the install? 
I think I've learned enough to do it over again and not miss the other 
steps Keith showed me this afternoon.

My day-to-day schedule's been hectic enough that I may or may not get 
very far with this before the next clinic. If I don't, and if you'll be 
there in January, I can bring the gear in again for another try.
