Thanks for everybody's posts to this issue -- they solved the problem for me. Here's a brief account:

I installed 9.10 AMD64 under Windows XP MCE using wubi, and got stranded at the grub2 prompt during the first reboot.
As described by others, I entered only:
> linux /boot/vml... root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
> initrd /boot/init...
> boot

Where the dots are I pressed TAB for auto-completion. The boot was successful. I then installed all proposed updates, rebooted and again landed at the grub2 prompt. So I entered the above commands again and after successful boot entered in a terminal:
> sudo update-grub2

After that, the system booted normally.
