grub & DOC


I have a machine with DoC and a floppy drive!
For now the floppy has the grub boot-loader which loads the kernel via net.
it works fine!

Now I want to boot from my DoC! So I enter the grub shell but when I want to specified which is my root device, grub does not list the DoC

fdisk -l
Disk /dev/nftla: 8 MB, 8183808 bytes
16 heads, 1 sectors/track, 999 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16 * 512 = 8192 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/nftla1 * 1 999 7991+ 83 Linux

ls -l /dev/nf*
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 93, 0 Jul 1 15:32 /dev/nftla
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 93, 1 Jul 19 09:45 /dev/nftla1
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 93, 16 Jul 1 15:32 /dev/nftlb

cat /mnt/floppy/boot/grub/device.map
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(doc) /dev/nftla1

the only devices grubshell list are fd0 and cd

another thing!
I have done the howto of M-sys, but i haven't found any grub-firmware as there have been written???

i have grub-0.97
