Ok, so I thought I would give your idea a try. What I found is weird.

At the grub> prompt:
set root=(hd0,5)
ls
* This shows me (hd0) (hd0,msdos9) (hd0,msdos8) (hd0,msdos7)
(hd0,msdos6) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1)

I've never seen that before, but at least I'm getting something new as
I was not able to do an ls from the grub> prompt previously.
