Grub Not Running When 3 Partitions (Breezy)

I am having an odd problem with booting. When I install Breezy with
this partitioning (approximate sizes) of an 80 GB disk, it works:
/dev/sda1 ext3 / 79 GB
/dev/sda2 swap 1 GB
Grub won't run when I change to, the machine won't boot:
/dev/sda1 ext3 / 35 GB
/dev/sda2 swap 1 GB
/dev/sda3 ext3 /mnt/extrapartition
44 GB
I put grub on a floppy, and it will boot this installation. I ran
grub-install to the hard disk for good measure, but it still can't
boot the computer.
I am running this on an Intel board, a D945GNT. I have tried this
with two different SATA drives and one PATA drive, and all operate the
same way. I have tried the identical install (using kickstart) on an
unrelated motherboard, and it works there. I updated the BIOS from
Intel, and it still won't boot this partitioning.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
