I don't know about that, but I thought the instructions included a way to
create a boot floppy which pulled the secondary loader as well as the
menu.lst from the hard disk. You have to keep a couple files on your hard
disk, but since grub supports most filesystems that doesn't seem like an
undue hardship. And it spares you having to mess with your current hard
disk boot mechanism.
