Just to be sure I correctly understand, I go through the following steps... boot a livecd in a terminal, enter "root (hd0,1)" and, "setup (hd0)" presumably these commands are run as root? Having a look at the grub commands that fail, using edit mode, they have "set root=`(/dev/sda,msdos1)' " Is this the equivalent of what you are proposing? If not could I edit the "set root=..." in first entry of the grub screen, and should it be "set root=`(hd0,1)' " ?
