I won't repeat myself a third time after this one: If you had read
Ashley's original post, you would have seen this description:

: I was presented with a black screen with the word GRUB in the
: upper left hand corner.  Nothing else, it wouldn't boot, it just
: sat there. 

What does that tell you? Certainly not that GRUB doesn't find the
config file. It doesn't not even load stage2 from within stage1.5.
Period.

That's where you are wrong!!!  It doesn't find the .conf file that is
why it goes no further.  The very first thing it does is try to locate
the .conf file so that it can print the image that you select to boot.
The first thing it prints is GRUB to tell you that GRUB was started.
Since it can't locate the .conf file it doesn't post the image.
