OK, I have seen some problems with the GNU version of GRUB and the way
it is probing for floppies (not hard disks mind you). Also, there appears
to be some conflict with some BIOSes notions of how to use the extended
BIOS calls for LBA access to hard drives. I've had at least one machine
lock up when the extended BIOS calls were activated on it's SCSI card.
I'm debugging/working on fixes for these.
