Hmm... I doubt it. /boot/grub/default does not reside in the MBR, and 
after fixing only that file, things now seem to be working just fine. 
And again, it worked on the first boot. It really is a mystery.

I think I'll chalk this one up to the Magic Bad Karma of changing the 
host name of a system. We all know it's bad luck, but I didn't think it 
would bite me since the name change was planned from the beginning.

Anyway, marge, which will eventually be my mother's computer, is now 
working happily alongside lisa, which is to replace homer, which is 
getting old and sluggish, and complement bart, the laptop (which never 
does as it's told).
