OK, again crisis over.
Turns out the device.map file was bad.
Booted from Debian Sarge netinstall CD.
Opened the console session.
Mounted /dev/hda4 as /mnt
Mounted /dev/hda1 as /mnt/boot
Chrooted /mnt
Mounted proc as /proc
Edited (nano) /boot/grub/devices.map
Added: (hd0) /dev/hda
Saved file.
ran: grub-install /dev/hda
Everything went OK.
Rebooted.
Debian GRUB menu.
Boot Debian from menu.
All works nicely.
Yay!

Grant.
