Thanks, I didn't realize it was that simple. I just linked stage1 directly to stage2, however the machine still hangs. Now on boot I only see the string "GRUB" with a flashing cursor after it. The machine will only respond to a ctrl-alt-del to restart it.
I figured I'd try installing it again with the 1.5 files in place, but this of course returned it to the old error where it hangs at the biosdisk_int13_extensions line. I'm not sure what it means when the machine hangs at a "GRUB_" prompt, but I'm guessing it can't locate stage2, for some reason.
