Rick, I am interested in what others say on this matter, but I _suspect_
that what is happening is that ( no, I'm not sure any more, however )
that GRUB is using track 0 on the first IDE drive to do the actual first
stage boot -- however there _is_ that pesky "root" parameter / command
in there that seems to imply that /boot is on that drive too, in fact,
as /dev/hda1.


Hmmmm?????
