Grub (or the original firmware) live in the raw flash, before the actual NFL
format starts. Grub is bigger than the original firmware, so when you 
install Grub, you have to recreate the NFTL format. It's best to do this 
with the M-Systems DFORMAT program under DOS, but it's also possible to use 
the Linux nftl_format program which doesn't deal with bad blocks properly.

You can tell the DFORMAT program how much space to reserve for the 
firmware, I believe. 

You need to apply the DiskOnChip patches to Grub, if they're not already 
merged.
