I have some strange problems

[Andreas L. Gustafsson]

Hi!

I have been reading the manual and have tried all the examples so I
thought I knew hoe to install GRUB, but somehow I fail and I think it has
to do with my path to the stage2 image. I could really use some help.
I did install LILO again and after that did the usual FDISK /MBR from DOS
but now my computer still complaings about 'Grub Hard disk error' so I'd
like to be able to boot /some/  OS again!  (luckily my SuSE Linux CDs
still work...)

So, this is how my computer look like:

I have my Linux / at /dev/hdd5
I have a /boot partition at /dev/hdd4

I have stage1, stage2 and e2fs_stage1_5 (whatever that is!) at /boot/grub
as the manual tells me.

I have tried to do 
> find /boot/grub/stage1

and got:
(hd1,3)
as a result. This looks like it makes sense.

doing:
> root (hd1,3)
> setup (hd0)

makes GRUB fail to load stage2 (or is it 1_5?) for some reason.

I tried some other permutations and even tried to install GRUB on a floppy
but no success.

Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong? I'm hoping of booting Windows98
from hda and GNU/Linux from hdd but for some reason I fail.

Any hints appreciated.
