I'm afraid the error may go beyond that. When I re-install the grub *.deb I can make a boot floppy successfully. But after I open a grub shell use the setup (hd1,0) is when I'm no longer able to generate a grub disk.
I should mention "/boot" is ext3 while the other partitions are xfs. I know grub has some issues with xfs.
I may try another install w/everything formatted to reiser.
