I can also confirm that the patch to selectively bypass grub works, at least
on a DoC 2000 24MB. However due to other problems (discussed separately) I
have not yet been able to use the GRUB firmware in production. Currently
loading GRUB via the DOS firmware.

Agreed. It is a very valuable patch for anyone considering using GRUB DoC
firmware, and certainly a must have for the first installs until one gets
customized to the way GRUB works. Even with a boot loader as fancy as GRUB it
is easy to fuck things up beyond repair...
