Grub stage1 file error

[Robert L Cochran]

Yes I know, it seems odd to be told to do it again from scratch. But 
this is a beta release. You don't seem to have found a solution to the 
issue you are having yet. Sometimes doing it all over again tells you if 
it is really a reproducible problem. I haven't yet had a problem with 
grub during this beta, but I haven't been very active either. Most of my 
attention is going into experimenting with wireless networking. You have 
probably done more with the beta than I.
