For the first module line, I broke it to avoid >80 columns, but on the
original file is on one line.

FWIW, grub-0.97-i486-pc.iso can be found in grub-disk_0.97-27, which
is still available in etch.

IIRC I used that same grub image to boot my old hurd (which was the
result of a crosshurd installation).

Thx, bye,
