mount | grep sd

Really, you want to boot from an external source (a
Debian/Ubuntu/whatever USB installer/live instance would do fine) first,
get access to a shell and do some sniffing around from there.
I wouldn't muck around with grub or anything yet until you've got a
better overview of what's not working right.
