Gee, is there any lilo --> grub translation scripts out there?
I suppose it's not that simple, but I can't find out how to say

in grub.

By the way, Svend's solution was like the equivalent to finding the cure for
cancer
as far as my computer is concerned.  Thanks Svend.

I found the grub way to say 'map' [which I indeed had to remove to
boot windows from the floppy, it was already mapped apparently],
but I can't find the grub way to say disk=/dev/hda, bios=0x81...

I'm fairly sure then all I need to do is
# grub
root (hd1,1)..... #or wherever one's /boot is
setup (hd1) #write only the MBR of hdb

how does this differ from doing
# lilo
with the above /etc/lilo.conf?
Would lilo here also only write the MBR of hdb?

Just curious, grub is said to be more flexible than lilo.
Do we see any glimpses of these additional flexibilities in the above examples?

[my problem was [before svend fixed it]: I want to set the bios to boot from hdb
where linux lives,
hda is windows.  I currently can boot from the floppy [not a rescue floppy, but
just a grub in the MBR floppy]
