THANK YOU!!!

It works!!!
I've installed GRUB on /dev/hdc4 which is above 6 Gygabytes!!!
I don't need to keep GRUB on a disk writeable by Windows 95 :-)

The only strange thing is that "d" was needed:

install= (hd1,3)/boot/grub/stage1_lba d (hd0) (hd1,3)/boot/grub/stage2
0x8000 p

"d" is not needed if stage2 is on /dev/hda0

I don't quite understand the meaning of the sentence from grub.texi:

The @samp{d} option near the beginning is what sets the @emph{forced}
loading from the disk where the stage2 was installed from.

What is "forced loading"?
Is it necessary when stage2 is not on the boot drive?
If it is, why is it not default?
Is there any negative effect of using "d"?
