RE: GRUB fails to boot Win98

[Graham Smith]

Okuji,

Further to my earlier message, now that I've had time to think about it.

Assuming that the drive number and offset in the message are swapped it 
would appear that when chainloading Win98 from GRUB installed on the hard 
disk it is attempting to read sector 0x1a0b9a4 from (hd0).  Interestingly 
this is the exact offset of the first sector of partition (hd1,4) where 
stage2 is installed and this offset is off the end of the smaller (hd0).

I have now also checked that the behaviour is the same when stage1 is 
installed in (hd0) and booted directly as when it is installed in (hd1,4) 
and chainloaded by LILO (which is what I had tested last night).

regards
Graham

P.S. I noted that the version of GRUB I downloaded from CVS now reports 
itself as 0.93.
