I have a buggy bios, and thus require EZ-Drive to use my large(r) hard
drive. However, there are some difficulties with this.

At the moment I am booting grub via floppy disk, to do this, I have to
wait for EZ-Drive to load, then from EZ-Drive, boot the floppy.

If I attempt to boot without EZD, the partitions on the drive are not
recognised, and thus, i cannot boot.

The situation is no better if I attempt to write grub to mbr as then
EZB is still erased, and I am unable to boot.

Does anyone know of a solution to this ?
After EZD is loaded, what code does it read to boot ?
And where and how can i go about replacing it with grub ?
I have no problems installing lilo on the same setup, so what is the
issue ?

Any help appreciated.
