OK, I tried something, but with no final success yet...

1) `qemu -hda /dev/hda10 -fda grub-0.95-i386-pc.ext2fs -boot a`

   This seems not to recognize the table partition of /dev/hda10, thus
   failing to start.

2) `qemu -hda /dev/hda -fda grub-0.95-i386-pc.ext2fs -boot a`

   Obviously I changed the parameters of the grub disk image
   (available at [1]) to match my configuration, but it ends up with
   the error message

   ext2fs_check_if_mount: (os/kern) invalid address while determining
   whether /dev/hd0s1 is mountd.
   fasck.ext2: Unknown code P 2 while trying to open /dev/hd0s1

   /dev/hd0s10 is correctly mounted, but read-only because of the
   error above.

Other suggestions?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
