Tried moving it outside the "AUTOMAGIC" box and updating grub. The entry was
still there, so I had high hopes. But when I rebooted, the same as before -
it hung, showing the filing system. :-( So I tried moving it back in the
"AUTOMAGIC" box. As you predicted, it just got erased when I ran
"update-grub".
I'm now tied up for a bit - will try using Sean's info later this afternoon.
