Heh. After a travail with Red Hat 3 and X during installation, I've  
done text mode installs ever since. ;)

The install actually goes fine and everything ends up where it should  
be. I've verified that all the files are properly installed. I can  
mount the file systems on the ramfs install creates, so it appears  
everything is OK. It's just that grub never loads if I try to boot  
from the drive itself.
