There's some minimal instructions for GRUB booting at:
http://www.triptych.freeserve.co.uk/grub/index.html
Also, I doubt that the basic requirements of '486/66MHz/8MB Ram' are enough
-- it used to be (haven't tried for a while) that the i386 build failed to
finish the tests on a 16Mb machine cos it ran out of memory. It would also
be very s-l-o-w with that spec processor.
