While doing the above tests , I ran into many things that do not work.

1) the grub shell is quite unstable.... if I just type
  linux /vmlinux ....
  initrd /initrd ....
  boot
 into it , then it works fine; if I enter some commands such as 'ls'
'lsmod' 'root', then it all goes haywire, the  commands  sometimes do
nothing, sometimes they report strange errors etc etc

2) I tried creating a grub.cfg file to have a nice menu,
 but it does not work, all I get are 'kernel not loaded'

3) moreover the fact that a 'grub.cfg' file is there
 seems to break grub2 havoc: if I hit 'c' to switch to the
 shell, it behaves as in (1) above

- -) I cannot access the EXT3 partition  , if I type
 'ls (hd0,3)'
 at the grub shell, it reports
 error:unknown filesystem

I tried the command
 'insmod ext2.mod'
but it says
 'error: ext2 is already loaded'

- -) similarly for the Mac OS partition

- -) there is no 'update-grub' in the Debian packages 'grub-common'
'grub-efi-amd64' ?

- -) where is the grub info file installed in the Debian packages??
