Not much help here, but I just installed a second disk, put 4 primary partitions on it, installed 5.0-RC2 (now -CURRENT) in one, had previously re-installed grub to the first disk from 4.7 on that disk. Had grub configured to boot any of the 4 new primary partitions. (But grub was dated 25'aug'02.) It boots 5.0 OK (and it also did so from a floppy). But when I installed 5.0, I had it leave the first disk alone. I just installed grub-0.92 on 5.0-C and it wouldn't recognize any disk, let alone partitions. Even tried "device (hd1) /dev/ad2" because "info" says it sometimes gets confused about device mapping.
