Double Grub Installation

System :
- P120
- Single H.D.
- First partition = Win95
- Second partition = Linux

When the PC starts, the first Grub menu is configured with two entries :
Win95 and Linux. When I choose Linux, Linux boots normally. When I
choose Win95, the screen goes blank, the usual info comes up :
-------------------------------
Booting 'Win95'

rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

GRUB Loading stage2...........
-------------------------------

It then loops back to that second Grub screen.


I figured I installed Grub on the MBR _and_ on the boot sector of the
first partition. So each time I 
choose Win95 on the first Grub screen, it brings me to the second Grub
screen, then I choose Win95 and it comes back to this screen, looping,
instead of booting Win95.

Do you know of any way to restore booting Win95 normally because I lost
access to this OS.

*********************
As I wrote this email, I found the solution :

- Boot with the Win95 Emergency disquette
- enter the command : sys c:
- Reboot
- The second menu will be gone and I can boot Win95 again!

So I tought that you would be interested in my findings, this is why I
send these informations anyway...
*********************

My other question is, I used grub versions .90 and .93 and I saw a
difference between these versions:
Version .90 uses the "splashimage" to display a background image but
version .93 seems not to recognize this command. 
Is this a bug or a "feature" of the newer version? It would be real nice
to get back this functionality in the final version!

Thanks for your answer.
