Well, thanks for the help everyone...at this point, I think I'm giving up on my GPT dreams and am going to switch back to straight-up MBR. I have been able to patch and use GRUB when booting off the installer CD, and launching the GRUB console from /mnt/sbin/grub works like a charm. But, as soon as
