Actually, we did.  The problem was, as I recall, that we got to the grub
menu, but could not load the kernel image from the hard disk, and your
kernel was too big to fit on the floppy!

Try:


grub> find /vmlinuz
 (hd0,0)

grub> root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> kernel /vmlinuz
   [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1c00, size=0x18f74b]

grub> boot


You will want to substitute your actual kernel file for "/vmlinuz", and
the output of the find for (hd0,0).
