9.1 Beta 2 - My primary hard drive (hda) has 9 partitions- hda5 is /, hda6 is
swap, hda7 is /usr, hda8 is /home, hda9 is BeOs.  I'm using Windows XP Boot
Manager to select which OS to boot.  [I want Mandrake to install grub on hda5,
then I do a dd to copy 512 bytes to a file which the XP Boot Manager can use.]

I tell the installer to use Grub and write it to hda5.  It notices my boot
manager and asks which disk I boot from.  (hda or hde) It then proceeds to
overwrite my XP  Boot Manager with Grub.  hda5 meanwhile, has LILO installed on
it.  It completely skips the step of creating a boot floppy disk.  (That's 3
incorrect actions!)

Boot with CD1, go into rescue mode, select restore Windows boot information. 
Remove CD, reboot box, and Grub is still the first thing I see!  [Rescue failed
to restore the boot sector!]
