You are right /files is a very big list and after 10+ minutes
of running, it wasn't done.  I narrowed it down (/files/boot)
to see if I could find the files in /boot (after all, 
/boot/grub/grub.com is where it really is) and alas,
it doesn't find it, just found this:

root: /dev/VG1/LV0001.root
/files/boot/grub/device.map/hd0   /dev/vda
root: /dev/VG1/LV0002.root
/files/boot/grub/device.map/hd0   /dev/vda

Thanks,
Shawn
