As near as I can tell, the problem is in write_to_partition in device.c 
     which always adds the partition number.

Backing up some, in devwrite, in disk_io.c, if I add code to make it 
take the else branch instead of the (current_partition != 0xffffff) 
branch, things do seem to work.  I don't know enough about grub to know 
why it wouldn't have a valid partition number.  Any ideas?

Thanyou once again,
