GRUB in the MBR

[Igal Baldran]

Hello,
What are the minimum files I need to put in a first partition on the disk
so GRUB will work with out full Linux installed on the Disk.
I need to boot two Win2003 OS with GRUB but I do not want full Linux
installation on the disk.
I thought about creating three partitions:
   first will host the minimum files of GRUB to make it working.
   To the second I will ghost a windows OS
   To the third I will ghost a second windows OS
Please advice.
Thank you.

No you cannot install stage2 into the MBR it is too big.  Only stage1 and
stag1.5 can be written to the MBR.  Stage1.5 is written to the area
immediately after the MBR if it is available stage1.5 is not always
present.
These modules sole purpose is to load stage2 so they are very small.
