Ok,
now I'm sure that what I did was really silly ;-)

I've just printed your email,
as soon as I'll be closed to that machine I'll follow your instructions in
order to make a grub boot floppy.
I think I'll do it in 5/6 ours,
so tomorrow you will know if I managed to fix the problem or not.

Again,
many thanks.
