Hello from Gregg C Levine
Basically yes. When I wrote the message that you're confused about it
was very early in the morning here, and at that time I don't even
pretend to make myself clear to others. I apologize. 
How do I go about formatting it with the Grub firmware in place?   And
since I am leaning towards formatting it with an ext2 file system, how
do I go about attaching it to the device name you chose. And then have
it come up on the Grub's boot menu boot from the ext2 file system. 
Yes, that's what I was missing.
