This works only, if the Be partition is bootable, but I installed the
Personal Edition which gives an image file. This file can be embedded in
a FAT or EXT2 partition in the directory /beos OR (this is not
officially documented -- at least I didn't found that, but it's obvious)
be "cat" to an partition. And this partition is NOT bootable.
So I thought that the easy way of loading the BeOS kernel could be
supported by grub.
(Eventually I found out how to make the partition bootable: type
"makeboot /boot" at the BeOS shell prompt. Then it can be chainloaded by
grub. Again: I couldn't find any hint to that, I did a "find / -iname
'*boot*' -print".)

Sorry, I "interpreted" the manual wrong (I read 64k instead of 640k).
