I tried that, but I just can't get it to boot. Even with Vmware. Actually all I have is the Windows ME upgrade CD. And it doesn't boot from the CD. And for some odd reason I can't get my floppy drive to boot or I'd reinstall it.
If the floppy drive is working, try this in grub:
title Just boot from the damn floppy! hide (hd0,0) <--- This is so that wHinders won't try to view what's there hide (hd0,1) <--- This is so that wHinders won't try to view what's there hide (hd1,0) <--- This is so that I can install wHinders on the second partion map (hd0) (hd1) <--- What WAS hda becomes hde (hda & hde on MY system) map (hd1) (hd0) <--- What WAS hde becomes hda (may be different on yours) rootnoverify (fd0) chainloader +1 boot
I don't know if "hide" needs to come before or after "map". If it needs to come after "map", I may have to switch (hd0,1) to (hd1,1). I don't know if the remapping affects grub's references. My guess is that it does not because then how would the second "map" know which hd1 to map to hd0? In other words, whether "hide" needs to come before or after "map", I think that the reference (hd1,0) does NOT need to change.
However, be warned that the installation of wHinders may overwrite grub's MBR (it did it to me when I did it). You may want to use "dd" to copy the MBR to another location. Then you can just use "dd" to copy it back later. You can use grub to set it back up, but it's a bit of a PITA.
