Thanks for all the insightful discussion. I now understand the differences and may switch to Grub in the future. For the present I have a number of other pressing projects that have priority.
Also, the though I have frequently rebuilt kernels the only time I was plagued with boot hangups it turned out to be a hardware problem. This is probably because I'm not doing anything terribly sophisticated that might cause such hangups. At any rate I had no trouble fixing the problem and regaining control with the aid of bbc-2.1. I don't have the business card. I just downloaded it from www.lnx-bbc.org and burnt a cd. Large or small, I think it is neat.
