Soo many responses :) Am I the only one being clueless?
The saga continues though. Still on the working host machine, I did an 
apt-get upgrade, which installed grub updates: Fine I hoped, perhaps a 
fix? no: now even on this machine there is an auto-reboot on grub load. 
And it still does reboot on the target machine, so now it is a 
self-rebooting disk! Somehow fun, but not useful
