I asked this on the other list, possibly by mistake.
I have installed beta 1 of Lubuntu 12.04 on an old PC I'm planning to give
away.
The only thing that is not flawless about it is that GRUB2 has not
picked up that the primary partition on hard disk 0 contains MS-DOS -
7.1, specifically, from a Windows 98SE recovery floppy. It's a small
install - just the core utils in a \DOS directory - but when I run
`update-grub` it appears not to notice it at all.
Is there any way of manually adding an OS to GRUB2?

Yes - you need to edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom and add the stanza there.
Something like
menuentry "msdos622 on sda1" {
insmod chain
insmod fat
set root=(hd0,1)
chainloader +1
}
Change the partition numbering to suit you.
Then you need to run sudo update-grub.
Hope that helps
Very cool indeed - I will try it and report back. Thanks!

Bah. Clearly my Google-fu is too weak. I did try searching - quite
thoroughly, I thought - before asking.
I was not able to sleep so I had some time :)
I also have a bunch of grub2 links bookmarked - the change from grub
threw me sideways for a while, not sure that I have recovered yet.
One of the grub guy' on the forum is one of my staff compadres - so I
have a back door as well :)
