find /boot/grub/stage1 hangs



Using 32 bit 6.7 CD to try to repair a 64 bit openSUSE 12.2 Grub Legacy boot failure following WinXP installation. I deleted the symlink /boot and mounted the /boot partition sda3 in its place, which presents a /boot/grub/device.map containing only '(hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/blahblah', plus the expected Grub files. The Intel Sandy Bridge system has only one HD and no floppy controller.

I've run into this before without finding a solution that is not HD invasive, and asked about it on the help-grub mailing list @ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-grub/2013-04/msg00021.html and on the dfsee mailing list @ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dfsee-support/message/14644

Backing up /boot content, reformatting sda3, then restoring didn't solve the issue here.

Any ideas how to figure this out very welcome.
