The machine has only 128 MiB and the Debian installer declines to work. 
I can add memory and install Deb Wheezy ... although in principle Grub 
should be able to function without Linux.

BootManager a preferred alternative.

Installation of Grub was convenient when the hdd was being partitioned 
on the Debian system; not essential.

This machine also doesn't shutdown cleanly and I wonder whether it has 
an anomalous behaviour of BIOS or hardware.  Beyond my knowledge 
really.

Thanks for the interest,              ... Peter E.
