Erm...
There is exactly one (1) MBR per physical fixed disc. Each non-extended
partition has a BR on it (sometimes called the geometry). GRUB
can run either from the MBR or from a BR. Extended partitions are
another story altogether.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!

Hi Mike McCarty!
So when you use a GRUB prompt or grub-install you can form a Boot
Record on any of the four Primary Partitions (the very first one being
the Master Boot Record of course)?
How do you make sure it is formed for the partition and knows were the
proper stage 1.5, stage 2, and grub.conf or menu.lst are?
Thanks!
Tod
