Hi Thomas,
well, I'd definitely give it another try now...

I'm no grub expert, but I didn't get it to work under grub either, so
I switched to lilo. Simply say
# apt-get install lilo
# liloconfig
accept the defaults and change the values in /etc/lilo.conf for boot and 
root to your root md device.
then run lilo and you should be set...

cu,
