Maybe. I don't have any GPT-partitioned disks to check whether there is a missing column. On DOS-partitioned disks, there is a column in between "Device" and "Start" labeled "Boot", where any boot flags that exist are shown. Since your HD is <2GB, one way to make all this trouble go away would be to start all over, selecting DOS as the partitioning type, make a primary as a home for Grub, keep LVM on logicals, and put swap either on primary or logical. The primary with Grub you would mount on /boot for your first installation, but until you understand better the foibles of multiboot, not those subsequent. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
