Hi,

The whole dance above is to get grub on the drive without playing too much with the command shell.

I googled "Grub install" and most of the hits looked too painful, so I came up with this approach.

step (9) might need to read:

title Install Ubuntu
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/ubuntu7/vmlinuz vga=normal ramdisk_size=14972 root=/dev/hda1 rw --
initrd /boot/ubuntu7/initrd.gz

note the bold difference.

I hope you are successful. Please come back to us either way
