DoC Grub booting problems

I've compiled grub v.0.93 with the lastest MTD patch and it pretty much
works. But it doesn't detect the DoC until I explicitly tell it its there.

Currently when it boots up it doesn't say anything about finding the DoC
and leaves me at a Grub shell prompt. If I type 'root (dc0,0)' it
comes up with the usual guff about finding the DoC and NFTL
partitions. Then I can type 'configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst' and it works
fine.

So my question is, how come it doesn't detect the DoC before searching for
the menu.lst file? So then it will boot without going to the Grub shell.

Thanks & regards, Mikey.
