Ah, that's a good clue!

On this CF card I'd previously installed grml 1.0, and must have
installed the bootmanager into the MBR of /dev/hda. With grml 1.1,
I installed the bootmanager into partition /dev/hda1. Re-running
grml2hd & installing the bootmanager into the MBR solves the problem.

Thanks for the speedy response,

John
