Oh yes now I remember that this was undocumented (goes back to DOS v3 days.)

But if I run this it appears not to remove grub from the MBR, i.e. Grub and 
RL still initiate the boot sequence.

Has anyone had a similar issue with RL? How else can I remove Grub from 
interrupting the boot process from going straight to DOS?

Thanks Marcus for the clarification.
