The grub problem is resolved. Now it's giving me a problem I don't
think you guys can help with. It's some kind of memory problem that
causes the booting process to hang at the end of the numbers that I
described the other day. I'm hoping that if I completely close
VirtualBox and reload it, it will load it at a different memory address.
I tried booting it and choosing Advanced Grub configuration utility
(or something like that) and it reported that it couldn't read memory
address <some long hex number>. I might have to keep booting with the
liveCD image after all.
