I just did what I read in the GRUB info node "Creating a GRUB boot
floppy", where it says

"# cd /boot/grub
#dd if=stage1 of/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1

etc..."

Since this didn't work I just created a floppy with mk2efs and copied the
stage1 and stage2 files. That worked! I think the manual is kind of
misleading.
