Wow. I was very nearly completely screwed. I went ahead and rebooted, but grub.cfg was not set up at all. I had no way to run update-grub on that root, and so tried manually filling in the missing parameters. That didn't work, probably through the obfuscation of UUIDs I couldn't determine what was really going on. What a terrible idea the way they were implemented, UUIDs. Why not put the current device assignment somewhere in the number? Terrible.
I ended up copying an old grub.cfg from a backup, and that got me at least booted, though with lots of grub errors. Now I am at a loss.
I don't understand this. grub-update at least -pretended- to work before I rebooted. I am still in shock. MUST get some actual work done today, rather than bit-twiddling. MUST try and make a living.
