yo, i tried it and succeeded. (with grub 0.5)
The problem is the floppy-geometry detection routine. It tries
2,8 MB floppies with 36 Tracks and succeeds doing this on an LS-120 drive.
-> The LS-120 drive 'allows' 36 tracks, even when the disk
has only 18 :-|
My solution was to modify the stage1 source. Removing the number 36
from the list of tracks to test did it.
If necessary i can post/mail the diff... (if i can find the source again :-)
