Yes, I did (I took a shower in the mean time, but nothing ).

Well, I do not get the grub> prompt.
I tried typing something in without the prompt and sometimes it
reboots, sometimes it does nothing...

I read the doc (aclocal && automake --add-missing && autoconf).
At first I had some problems with aclocal, automake and autoconf.
It complained about undefined macros, etc...
I downloaded the latest version of automake in autoconf and 
then it worked.
I compiled GRUB without any errors.

This jumper is on the PC104+ board?
(http://www.tri-m.com/products/tri-m_engineering/mz104+.html)
I'll have to read the documentation again.

Thanks for the tip.

One other thing I forgot to mention.
When I ran the fdisk, I could only create one partition,
and the fdisk shows the start and the end as 1!!!
Maybe this has something to do with the problem???

Regards,
Mateo
