First off, let me say I think GNU GRUB is wonderful.. It
boots Linux wonderfully over here, and I imagine it will
boot other OS's well too once I install them (except for
DOS apparently, which is the purpose of this message)..

Ok, I have an AMI BIOS from the P2SBA board from SuperMicro..
It lets me boot from the MBR of the 3rd hard drive (which
just so happens to contain a Win95 MBR, and the first partition 
happens to contain a win95 boot sector..)  Making the BIOS
boot to the 3rd drive works great.. But I'd much rather have
GRUB boot to the MBR of the 3rd hard drive (So, I guess I'm
suggesting giving GRUB the ability to load another MBR).. When
I try to tell GRUB to just do a chainloader on (hd2,0)+1, it
simply locks (I'm assuming the win95 MBR passes some extra info
to the win95 boot sector)..  Here's my current (non-function)
GRUB config for booting to windows, in case I'm doing something
very very wrong...

title Windows 95
root  (hd2,0)
makeactive
chainloader (hd2,0)+1


Again, (hd2,0) does have a functional boot sector, and the BIOS
will load windows fine if I set the 3rd disk as the first place
to search for a boot record.. Anyway, I feel that if I could run
the MBR from (hd2), from GRUB, all would be fine..
