Hi All,
I'm having two distinct Grub boot errors with Ubuntu 9.10, stemming from two different setups.
Anticipating that I'll be asked I ran BootInfoScript on both setups.
This is the first setup, where I put a Flash ROM card in the Flash ROM port in front of the computer. This setup will not boot at all, and I get a message something like "Insert appropriate media and try again."

The second setup, without the Flash ROM card inserted, boots to the GRUB rescue screen:

I can see there's no boot loader but have no idea how to get that working. Thanks!
