Hi

Thank you all for replys and all the help.

Is this modified version comitted in the cvs?

Are you referring to kernel modules?
If so, I have these build in (no modules), as suggested by 
DOC and GRUB HOW-TO.

Now I have so much information that I need to sort them out.

Steps:
1) Boot DOS and use DFORMAT 5.x to format the DOC, with 
   the appropriate space for the GRUB firmware (check the
   size of the stage1 file).
2) Boot to Linux, use the doc_loadbios to load the GRUB 
   firmware (or use DFORMAT - what parameters??).
3) Format the /dev/nftla.
4) Copy everything to the /dev/nftla1.
5) Boot from DOC.

Is this correct?

Regards,
Mateo
