$ wget grub-1.94.tar.gz

$ wget lzo-2.02.tar.gz

Ok.
$ cd grub-1.94 ; ./configure && make

Huh? It's a 440 BX chipset with an IBM BIOS, should be just fine.
grub> reboot
$ grub-install --force-lba --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/testboot /dev/hda3
Ok.
$ shutdown -r now
boot: chainload hda3
grub> root (hd0,2)
"Error 18: Cylinder size exceeds BIOS limit."
A cylinder size exceeding a limit, when GRUB is told to forcibly use LBA ?
What the f... is that about?
