There is in fact another difference between floppy and hard disk : in
floppy, generaly speaking, there is no *stage1_5.
I have tried to suppress *stage1_5 for the grub on the MBR of an IDE drive :
savedefault works...
So the problem is --- I guess... --- with the location of the first sector
of stage2 when a *stage1_5 is used.
And I am afraid of one thing : if this location is wrong where by hell is
writing `savedefault' ?
