OK, done again. It made no difference.
What was different is that I couldn't ssh back into it for step 2 because the networking wasn't up. "no route to host". There's an option somewhere in Debian at least of whether you want to wait for the network (DHCP really) to come back up before boot continues. I probably have that off because otherwise booting hangs a few minutes until it times out.
But I boot to a console anyway (touchpad seemed to not work also) so after I went downstairs and fetched a USB keyboard I got back in OK. I think last time ssh worked.
