Summary:  Message "GRUB Floppy Error" when using boot floppy

Original Submission:  Have put the GRUB floppy image on to a floppy and recieve 
the message "GRUB Floppy Error". The command line never comes up.

Bad Floppy: No. Get to command line using same floppy on two other computers.

Bad Floppy Drive: No. Plugged floppy drive into another computer and got to 
command line.

Incompatiable with BIOS: Only possibility that I can think of.

Message when turnig on computer.

"NVIDIA TNT2 Model 64 VGA BIOS
Version 3.05.00.10
Copyright (c) 1996-2000 NVidia Corp.
32.0 MB RAM"

The BIOS setup screen says "Award BIOS Setup Utility" at the top.

I intend to load the Hurd on to this computer but I understand that the Grub is 
required to boot the OS. I have very little understanding of bootloaders so my 
assistance with the fix may be limited.

Regards,
Chris
