Glen,

The 0.92 patch is for released Grub; 2002-07-29 is for the latest Grub CVS

It's been my experience that after burning the grub_firmware, you may need to 
do the format and fdisk again.   This could be caused by running doc_loadbios 
when the NFTL module is loaded (and a valid NFTL signature is detected):

Grub doesn't have the capability to write to a DoC, as far as I know.
