grub install errors

[Rob Benton]

I don't know if this information is useful or not but I thought I would 
post it just in case it helps anyone.  If not feel free to ignore it.

(grub version: 0.95+cvs200406624-8)

On my Linux install (Debian testing) I've found that I have to alter the 
install command using the grub shell to get grub installed correctly on 
my HD.

default command:   "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1,0) (hd1,0)1+18 p 
(hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"
modified:                 "install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd1,0) 
/boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst"


I saw the note in the doc about buggy BIOSes needing the 'd' option but 
previously I have used grub version 0.91 and I did not have to modify 
the default command.  If can provide more info if needed.
