Well, not even GRUB 0.5.93.1 can get past the 1024-cylinder barrier on this machine. Neil Turton's mbr-1.1.0 didn't run properly either. It turned out that the BIOS supports the INT 0x13, AH=0x41, BX=0x55AA call (properly setting BX=0xAA55) but the bitmap returned in CL has 0 in the lowest bit. mbr-1.1.0 didn't check that and then failed to chainload. Also, a separate partition can be mounted read-only most of the time. :-)
