If you really need help, don't paraphrase the facts. Don't judge if
anything is correct yourself, but describe them verbosely, please.

One thing that you can do easily is to log what savedefault_func
does. To do this, turn on the debug mode by the command "debug" and
then run "savedefault". Note that you need to run "debug" in the
command-line and "savedefault" in a menu entry. This should print out
the sector to which "savedefault" wants to write data, like "<1052, 0,
512>". Then, check for the actual sector number of stage2 by the
command "blocklist".
