Bug#560425: grub 0.97 doesn't work well on Panasonic CF-L2

[youhei sakurai]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-47lenny2

Hello,

I installed Debian Lenny from debian-503-i386-CD-1.iso to three PCs.
PCs are Panasonic CF-L2P8W2S(PhoenixBIOS V2.00L11B).

Two PCs is installed grub, they hang up when they boot.
But one PC is installed lilo, it can boot.

The details of hang up is here.
