Summary: Success with win2k on slave second disk!!!! Still only passive boot 
for linux :(
Version: .93 latest
Type: software bug

Message:
Yay! searching google.groups I found solution

grub.conf is now

<routine stuff for drive (hd0,0) for booting linux etc then>
then add section secction
title old Windows Me and 2000 hard drive 
        map (hd0) (hd1)
        map (hd1) (hd0)
        rootnoverify (hd1,0)
        chainloader +1
        makeactive

notice that I need the (hd1,0) for rootnoverify!!!!
This may be usefully added to the grub faq!!!

Now it boots default into linux via disk (hd0)!

However still problem of "when i select linux boot from 
grub menu and hit enter linux boot hangs at the message
apm:bios version 1.2 flags 0x03 (drive version 1.16)

This is a reproducible problem on .91 and .93 and intel D850GB motherboard 
latest bios. No such problem in sony vaio.
I can live with it, just wait till default boot starts, but what is the cause? 
any ideas???
By the way - others have reported this too! with other intel boards see the 
mail bug archives
