Forever shall I be.

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..
