So all I really need, for now, I to include the NIC driver?  That's
cool.  I hope to put grub into an eprom at some point (for one of the
machines).  The coolest thing would be to hijack (err, borrow :-)) my
brother's cd burner with a boot floppy (he has WinME on his system).

Yes!  Thank you very much.  That "(nd)" was the biggest key.  It was
also helpful to have the kernel image path as well.

Now it loads the kernel and starts booting it.  The next step is to
debug my config options :-) (first problem -- no coprocessor and no
math emulation.  Time to recompile :-))
