So, then. I popped into the bios yet again. It lists four boot options. One
is UEFI-something; two are Ubuntu-something (and based on what appear to
be hard drive serial numbers, those two seem to be the same); and one is
Ubuntu-something that is the SSD. Booting to the last of these produces
the black acreen and flashing cursor. Booting to the UEFI-something seems
to boot okay, producing the grub menu but booting me to sda1 no matter
what I choose from the menu. But --AHA? -- choosing one of the plain
Ubuntu choices (I don't know which one, because they appear identical)
allows me to choose from the grub menu to boot the Linux on sdc1 and when
I make that choice, I appear to actually boot sdc1. from "mount" output:
/dev/sdc1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
What I can't figure out is how this got changed from what worked before,
and how to keep it from changing again.
