My appologies Miguel, I have not made myself clear. My fault. In response to your question Miguel, my short answer is 'no'. I cannot 'rescue - boot' the newly installed pc debian system with, or from, rescue mode, with the aid of the 'rescue cdrom' disk and it's Grub GNU/Linux 'Boot Command List'. The 'rescue cdrom' disk, boots itself in the pc OK ! Having booted the rescue-disk itself, I cannot use the running rescue disk's GNU/Linux 'Command List' to 'rescue - boot' the debian system previously installed on hard disk.

"root@grml / # /dev/sda0 (just to see)" should be "root@grml / # ls /dev/sda0 (just to see) ls: cannot access /dev/sda0 : No such file or directory." Again, thank your help Miguel. It is appreciated.
