Thanks Tom.

So we know we *can* boot from a bare 7042, which is good!

I've poked a little more at this here, and I *think* the
BIOS is overwriting the 9th sector on the drive.

I'll test that theory a little more.

Any GRUB experts out there?  How do I get GRUB to install
the stage2 stuff on a partition, instead of in the first 63 sectors ?
