Thanks, Ilguiz.  I now have the latest from the CVS archive, and I also upgraded autoconf
and automake.  Everything went flawlessly.

The doc_loadbios output to /dev/mtd0 is off by 512 bytes (when I use an offset of 1024):

*** doc_loadbios.c Fri Feb 22 15:22:17 2002

-      goto error;
-     }
     }

     erase.length = meminfo.erasesize;
--- 89,94 ----

After making that change, the grub_firmware appears to be in the correct place (0x400),
and the IPL is still at 0x0 and 0x200.

I created an ext2 partition and copied the necessary files to /boot and /boot/grub.

My system now recognizes that something is there, but refuses to boot:
    Searching for boot record from SCSI: Not Found.

I'll keep trying; if you have any ideas, let me know.
