I don't know what the hell happened there but I used Rescautux Disk again and selected the 'Super Grub2 Disk' option that then offers the powerful menu item of finding any bootable operating system on your computer..I was then able to boot into my AMD64 unstable partition and run dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc and this time the proper grub.cfg file was written and replaced the limited one that had been put there previously.
I don't know why dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc worked that time and not before but I can certainly recommend the (Recovery Disk) Super Grub2 Disk. au revoir, CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
