Yes, one should always double check each fact as one writes something.

And, the little lesson was nice as well.

However, I think the point of my quick description of the boot loading
process was to show responders to my original question that the grub
problem I had was a little deeper and more complex than the normal grub
screw-up.

So I am not too concerned about that small inaccuracy; most people who
actually tried to help me caught the point.
