Many thanks to Chris Wilson. It now boots on it's own. No need for the 
Super Grub CD.

I understand that in computerese "0" does not mean "nothing". It is the 
first device in whatever group. You said something about "ramdisk" a bit 
earlier and I assumed you were talking about the "rd" part of the 
string. When I first saw it I thought "RAID" or "Raid Disk". Anyway, I'm 
still a bit confused about the c0d0 part.
