[PLUG] ArchLinux boot never gets as far as grub

I've just installed ArchLinux on a spare machine. The install process 
worked, but when I try to boot the installation I just get a blank 
screen with a blinking cursor. I've Googled for this, but all of the 
answers I've seen appear to get as far as GRUB before getting a "black" 
screen, and then recommend appending something to the GRUB command. I 
don't get that far.

I can boot the install disk again, and I can mount sda1 on /mnt and look 
at /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg, but don't know what to do with what I see.

Recommendations appreciated.

Thanks.
