I found one message of March 6, 2002 where the MTD-patched GRUB displayed
the prompt. I think this was half a success as I am an optimist :-)

I believe you did create a file system on top of NFTL layer and put the
/boot/grub/menu.lst configuration file there. This file tells GRUB which
partition to open and which kernel to load.

The difficulties with reformatting DoC by using the M-Sys'es DFORMAT might
be due to grub_firmware indeed.

Perhaps, running the same utility with /s:* and without /noformat may help
in erasing the ext2 partitions.
