GRUB seems still OK to be, it points to a stage-2 loader
which is at sector 0x1973e28 (which is inside /dev/sda6 somewhere).

(GRUB, I should add occupies its own small (7MB) EXT2 partition, sda7.

GRUB stageX @PSN : 0x01973e28 Located on : /dev/hda6

So, all is apparently as it should be, and I can't tell why it does not boot

It's above my understanding why Grub needs to be in two partitions, so maybe
a DFSee 'part -b-' report would be useful.

There you have me, I didn't know about being in two places. I also don't know
about a "part -b report". Do you mean the DFSDISK report? I can send it as an
attachment easily.

The references to both /dev/sda7 and /dev/hda6 and sda7 would seem to imply
there are at least two disks on which at least portions of Grub might be
found, or maybe one disk with multiple device names.

The onscreen report from simply starting DFSee ends with a chart listing
partitions and their characteristics. The one you get from running DFSee in
Linux instead of DOS, doz or OS/2 is a bit different. From Linux, on the
command line after starting DFSee you run 'part -b-' to get a chart identical
to the one provided by the other varieties by default. It's essentially an
amplified version of output from 'fdisk -l <diskdevice>' for all accessible
disks.
