This didn't make any difference.  It still works find on the faster machine; 
reboots on the P133.

Using GRUBSTART:0 is probably the better way to do this: GRUBSTART:0 is 
equivalent to GRUBLOADSEG:GRUBLOADOFS (8200:0, 07E0:400), and using zero as 
the offset causes the "read block" command to send an address of 0 after 
sending the READID command, similar to the way it's done in bdev_diskonchip.c.

Either way, the result (mfg/id code) temporarily ends up at 8200:0, prior to 
be replaced by the Grub code.
