Then I ran "syslinux d:" from a Win98SE DOS-box to (try to) initialize the partition's boot record. And added this from a DOS/Windows example to grub.conf: title LEAF/Bering via syslinux hide (hd0,0) unhide (hd0,3) makeactive rootnoverify (hd0,3) chainloader +1 But the boot failed in grub. I'm also going the path of making grub boot LEAF-Bering directly, and I seem to have that part-way to working.

I can't comment on LEAF/Bering. -hpa
