On a suggestion I found in the list archive for someone else with a
similar problem, I grabbed the latest code out of CVS and compiled. I
was then able to install to hd0 (instead of hd0,0) without destroying
EZ-BIOS. Everything now works fine--I even added a listing in my
menu.lst for a newly compiled 2.4.2 kernel and that works flawlessly, too.

No, the paths it outputted appeared correct. /boot/grub/stage1,
/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5, and /boot/grub/stage2. That was what was so
perplexing. Before I added the symlink to boot, I got a failed to find
stage1 in /boot/grub, then it would report that if found the files in
/grub, and output an install command using /grub instead of /boot/grub.
I just don't know if it was the combination of both EZ-BIOS and a
separate boot partition that was too much for the setup command.

I created the symlink exactly as the documentation specified. I left
the symlink intact when I installed with 0.5.97--I didn't realize that
it might be unnecessary with the new version. At any rate, the new
version seems to have cleared everything up. If there is anything I can
do (without hosing my working installation) to sort out the problem with
0.5.96.1, let me know.
