Do you have a floppy drive? Booting a grub floppy is the easiest way to
setup. If the system has no floppy, then some tricks may be necessary.
The first trick beyond the floppy is to make an image of a grub boot
floppy, and use it that to make a bootable cd. I'll wait for your
response before posting those tricks.
