Grub not working with minix fs

[*]

After reading the article in the recent edition of the Linux Journal, I
decided to take a look at grub.  I had no problems with building grub
and found that grub worked well with ext2 file systems and fat16 file
systems.  However, I discovered that grub could not recognize a minix
file system.  My disk configuration is as follows:

hd0 -- a minix file system with a tiny linux installed (with lilo) on a
compact flash IDE card.
The bios and my linux systems work fine with this disk and treat it as a
normal IDE disk.
Grub refuses to recognize the minix file system.  I can use the chain
loader to boot linux off this disk only by using the "rootnoverify
(hd0,0)" + "chainloader --force +1" command followed by the "boot"
command.  However, I have to enter these two commands twice to get it to
work.


hd1 -- multiple partitions on a scsi disk.  grub correctly identifies
the dos and ext2 partitions and file systems on this disk.  Grub boots
linux correctly off the sda5 partition on this disk.  I have not been
able to get the dos partition to boot correctly, yet.  I tried using
"chainloader /bootsect.dos" which did not work.  I'll experiment more
with this, which may be a problem in my setup of the dos partition.

hd2, hd3 -- scsi data disks.  Grub recognizes the ext2  file systems on
these disks.

Otherwise,

I'm really impressed with Grub.  Once the bugs are worked out, I'll
probably stop using Lilo, which is kind of a pain to use.
