Janusz,

This is the man page for grml2hd. If you are not exhausted and
disenchanted by the effort please give it a read.
http://grml.org/grml2hd/grml2hd.html

It gives
GRML2HD_NONINTERACTIVE=1 grml2hd partition=/dev/sdsa5 mbr=/dev/sda5
filesystem=ext3 user=janusz

(the last goes all on one line)
Debian will still ask for your real name to personalise some things.
The file to edit is /etc/grml/config
- - -

If you do manage to install OK then make a grub floppy. As root do grub -
which gives you a grub prompt

grub> root (hd04)

Which is grub talk for sda5. Then put a formatted floppy in the drive and do

grub> setup (fd0)

This floppy will boot straight into your installed system. Then to boot XP
you only have to take the floppy out and it boots as normal.

Best Wishes
Moss
