Yes, you're probably right. I was writing from memory.

(hd0,msdos1) is my new boot partition and I copied all the files from my old 
boot partition to the new one. So, I expect the output would show all the files 
and directories that I copied:

  grub rescue> ls (hd0,msdos1)/
  config-3.2.0-4-amd64  grub  initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64  lost+found  
System.map-3.2.0-4-amd64  vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64

What's not clear to me is how it helps me. Perhaps I could try to boot the 
system from grub rescue (see below)?

grub> linux  (hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz root=(hd0,msdos2)
grub> initrd  (hd0,msdos1)/initrd.img
grub> boot

Perhaps the system will boot this way. Then what? There's still the question of 
making the new HD bootable the normal way that remains.

Thanks
