grub_0.95+cvs20040624-17ubuntu5 has just been uploaded and should hit 
the archive soon. It contains a change to the stage 1 bootloader code 
that will result in grub attempting to recover from situations where the 
BIOS doesn't provide a boot device. This code /should/ only ever trigger 
when boot would otherwise have failed anyway, but if people could try 
reinstalling grub (you need to do grub-install /dev/hda or whatever) and 
ensuring that their system still boots, that would be great. Don't worry 
about letting us know that it works, but if it doesn't please file a 
bug.
