Need to recover from an ID-10-T error.

'K, here we go:

ubuntu at ubuntu:/$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda1

Disk /dev/sda1: 32 MB, 32868864 bytes

Disk /dev/sda1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
ubuntu at ubuntu:/$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda2

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

I think I'm beginning to see what's going on here.  I think (and this is
just conjecture) that after you moved the contents of boot to a
temporary space, when you tried to move it back, instead of putting them
in the boot partition, you copied them in to the /boot folder of your
Linux root filesystem.  Which is still ok, assuming that is where grub
is looking for it's files now, but we'll just have to fix a few things.
