No joy.  My other 7042 and 6042 cards do not have bootable BIOSs.

So to boot from a 7042 the only theoretical choice is the Highpoint board,
and for that we need to somehow coax it into not overwriting GRUB
every time the onboard BIOS reinitializes.

Tricky to arrange, that.

How are you doing it ?
