Um... do you mean that grub loads the latest kernel without pausing to
ask if that's what you want? Because as I understand that is intended
behavior with F11 (with F10 already, I want to say). Hold some key
during boot to get the grub menu (ctrl works well, being unused by most
BIOS's).

This makes no sense. If grub was failing to find /boot, you would get a
grub error, since there would be nothing for it to boot (nor would it
find grub.conf, I think). IOW, you would get slightly farther than the
BIOS failing to find a MBR, but certainly no maintenance mode (which
implies a roughly-functional kernel and initrd).

This sounds like an initrd problem to me, but I am no expert.
