I had completely hosed the doc after trying to write somebody's image to the doc. So, I did an erase all and used nftl_format to set up the doc again. I used fdisk to partition it and set up an ext2 file system. Then, I used doc_loadbios tool to install GRUB. GRUB Installed successfully, and it works, but at the same time, it seems to have hosed up the doc again. The only thing that I can do is to reformat the doc, which of course overwrites GRUB, leaving back to square one. I am using a 2.4.19 kernel, with the latest cvs grab of mtd-linux. Can anyone tell me what is happening and how I can work around it? Thanks, Joe
