As noted by Bill, an error is reported.   This might be a useful source for
further info...

Check out "Errors reported by stage 2", specifically error 21.

Come to think of it I have a machine that used to have two hdd's.   It 
still has
the Grub entry relating to the amputated disk.   Tomorrow night I'll boot the
thing and deliberately try the now non-existent hdd.   Will report what 
happens
for interest to the list!
