GRUB .... MBR

Ok, temp fix.....

Took the old
/boot directory from Netware under TFT and replaced the /srv/tftp/boot

(we were running ZFD 7SP1 ir3 on Netware)

So yes I am aware, I am running much older version.. but it works.. It
looks like the new version has issues. I don't think there was testing
done for dual boots...

Thanks

Pete
