   Okay, it's attached.  Apparently grub-probe is finding an Apple partition 
map on the first drive; we do have a few Apple machines here and there is a 
small chance that at one time this disk was in an Apple.  The only reliable 
way I've found of removing Apple partitions is to use 'wipe' on them, 
although I don't know if that was done on this disk.  I have a duplicate of 
the same make + size that I can use to back this disk up with if something 
risky needs to be done to try to get rid of the Apple map if there is one.  
If you know of a better or less intrusive way of removing Apple maps, I'd 
like to know.
