NEW UPDATE: A-OK!
After I did a software update (57 pkg's) and rebooted, I thought I saw
the Grub menu for a fleeting moment.
I rebooted again, this time constantly tapping the keyboard. Lo and
behold, there was Grub with option "Other", which booted Win 7 just
fine. Oh, and the default, F15 was about to load. The timeout was on 0
seconds. Kinda tough to get quicker than that!

Thank you all.
