i have a DiskOnChip 2000 (48Mbytes) 

kernel 2.4.0-test9 ... and mtd-20000704 and grub-0.5.96

i compiled the kernel with DOC2000 + nflt + mtdchar 
compiled mtd utils ...
compiled grub ...
	copy stage2/pre_stage2 into mtd/grub dir 

in mtd/grub execute make ... 
so i obtain grub_firmware (size 60,256) 

then 
doc_loadbios /dev/mtd0 grub_firmware
nftl_format /dev/mtd0 81920 
fdisk /dev/nftla 
	create 3 partirions of 1Mbyte, 100k , and the rest ...
write and quit from fdisk ... 

now i vreate the filesystems ...
first partition (nftla1) is where kernel is into and is minix fs

reboot ... 

grob start and if i type

root (<TAB>
i obtain 

root (hd0,
	Partition num 0, filestem type unknow, partition size 0x83

no other partitions are visible ... 
no other devices are avaiable ... 
note that i compile grub with --enable-minix and --enable-ext2fs
in the HD (primary/master) i have only one partition in ext2 ...

what of wrong i'm doing ????

Did you apply the patches to Grub to provide DiskOnChip support?

Hmmm. That's not good. What if you type root=(dc0,0)?

It should say _something_ - even if it's only "No DiskOnChip found".
