Package: grub
Version: 0.5.94
Severity: normal
I have a 'MaxBlast' floppy that came with my Maxtor HD. It is meant to be
booted from to set up your hard drive when you first install it. I can
boot it normally but I can't boot it via grub. Here's what happens:
grub> root (fd0)
Filesystem type is fat, using whole disk
grub> chainloader +1
Error: Invalid or unsupported executable format
The floppy apparently uses SDOS (when it boots, it says "Loading
SDOS...". I have put an image of this disk up at
http://pimlott.ne.mediaone.net/~chris/maxblast.img.bz2 (There shouldn't be
any issue with me making an image of this available as it can also be
downloaded from Maxtor's FTP site) so others can reproduce this behavior.
