Thanks Pascal,

   Closer now. I edited *Debian...9 on /dev/sdd1 entry.
    I changed the kernel line to /dev/sdb1.
      I missed the comment that I try to boot from there. So first I 
escaped and tried to boot from there which did not work!

    Then I booted from the edit screen....


    BOOTS normally from what I can tell :).

That said, I found no grub-update command in this version??

    I tried grub-install --force /dev/sdb but with no effect.

    I will now try finding sdd1 in the various /boot/grub stuff.

    Saga continues.
