Thanks Mike for your advice.
root fd0 .. This entry added in /boot/grub/menu.lst. GRUB
complains about
it"Unrecognised
device string"; we also tried /dev/fd0...noluck.
Although in normal boot
copying to /dev/fd0 works fine. So I am sure that
"fd0" is the device
name for my floppy.
You need to understand that when GRUB runs, there is no OS, and no
device drivers, etc. GRUB has direct knowledge of the hardware,
and uses its own naming convention. (hd0) is the first hard disc,
(hd1) is the second, etc. And (hd0,0) is the first partition.
I dunno what the name is for the floppy, but it surely isn't
/dev/fd0. It might be (fd0).
So what I need for above statatemnt in order to boot from floppy.
I gave you a link on how to make a GRUB boot floppy. I've made a
few, but I'm not a GRUB expert. Please read the website link
I gave you to create a boot floppy, and use the boot floppy to
boot from your hard drive.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
