Comments/Problems:
Didn't detect CDROM (which runs UltraDMA Mode 2). Worked around it by using the solution from http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg57058.html
Grub set the root as: root(hd0,0) instead of: root (hd0,1) (see the partition information as to how the partitions are laid out)
I had to manually edit the boot settings in grub when the system rebooted so it would boot fromt the root partition instead of attempting to boot from the swapspace :) Once the system booted correctly, I then had to edit the menu.lst to keep this setting.
