ok that works.

Scenario:

El Torito:  Grub 0.5.96.1    (maybe Mandrake, I don'T rmember really)

Real floppy: Grub 0.93  (cvs last week)

booted from CD and

root (fd1)
chainloader +1
boot

boots from the physical floppy and still sees the "logical" El Torito
emulation.

and now

root (fd0)
chainloader +1
boot

boots from the El Torito as well as

chainloader (fd0)+1
boot


only booted from CD and trying

chainloader (fd0)+1
boot

hangs.
