Comments/Problems:
GRUB repeatedly failed to install on /boot partition (/dev/hda)
but succeeded on /dev/hda.
I resorted to lilo as I prefer to use a separate boot-selector (GAG)
and independent bootloaders for the main and rescue systems.
Congrats! Floppy netinstall was still listed
as broken/messy when I tried it.
