Installing Grub

[rich]

Hi, I'm curious if the boot floppy procedure (cat stage1 stage2 > /dev/fd0)
would work on a hard disk (cat stage1 stage2 > /dev/ataraid/d0).  If so, would
grub be able to install over itself (ie setup (hd0) ).  The reason I ask is that
I have a grub boot floppy made with the above method and it works great,
however, after installing grub to my MBR and rebooting it doesn't work.  It
seems to load stage1_5 fine, but then it says its loading Grub please wait, but
nothing ever happens.  My suspision is that my bios is playing some tricks with
the order of the disks so grub is having trouble finding stage2 and menu.lst. 
My motherboard has an integrated Highpoint 370 IDE RAID controller with 2 hard
drives attached in a RAID 0 setup.  With the boot floppy the drive shows up as
(hd0) and I can load the kernel and boot fine.  I'd like to get a grub shell
when I boot from the hard disk so I can try to figure out if my bios is
reordering the drives so I can set Grub up properly.

Thanks in advance for any help,
