X Windows Performance with DOC 2000

[Ilguiz Latypov]

I found one message of March 6, 2002 where the MTD-patched GRUB displayed 
the prompt.  I think this was half a success as I am an optimist :-)

I believe you did create a file system on top of NFTL layer and put the 
/boot/grub/menu.lst configuration file there.  This file tells GRUB which 
partition to open and which kernel to load.

The difficulties with reformatting DoC by using the M-Sys'es DFORMAT might 
be due to grub_firmware indeed.

Perhaps, running the same utility with /s:* and without /noformat may help 
in erasing the ext2 partitions.
