Thanks. (BTW: The word "
noobish" is hard to understand. I googled it for a long time. Finally got it.)
My answers to your questions:
1) about using grldr.mbr to load grub4dos. I think grldr.mbr just like a boot sector of grldr as well as bootsect.dos to IO.SYS(MS-DOS). and in some situation, user want grldr has customized name such as mygrldr, foo.ldr ... etc. then he can use grubinst to edit grldr.mbr to do this:
grubinst -b=mygrldr -o grldr.mbr
also, you can use :
grubinst -e -b=mygrldr grldr
ren grldr mygrldr
copy mygrldr c:\
echo c:\mygrldr="grub4dos" >> c:\boot.ini
similar way to customized the grldr name.
grldr.mbr needn't have to put in drives root directory. Also, some one want to load grub4dos under NT and Vista in the same way. then using grldr.mbr is the only way.
2) I think you want me give the steps to setup a PXE server and use grldr as the boot file. ok, following:
PXE server = DHCP Server + TFTP Server.
How to setup DHCP Server and TFTP Server, there are many documents on the internet, just google it.
DHCP Server settings for PXE:Option:066(boot server) = IP address of the TFTP Server.
Option:067(boot file) = grldr
TFTP Server settings for PXE:suppose the TFTPServer root is: c:\tftproot, pxemenu.lst is the PXE boot menu for grub4dos.
copy grldr c:\tftproot
copy grub.exe c:\tftproot
md c:\tftproot\menu.lst
copy pxemenu.lst c:\tftproot\menu.lst\default
copy memdisk.gz c:\tftproot
copy pxelinux.0 c:\tftproot
then setup PXE Server done!
You can simply use TFTPD32(who include DHCP and TFTP Server in one program) in windows (NT) to setup a PXE Server for simple use or test.

When you setuped the PXE Server, you can try boot the computer from PXE(in a LAN with the PXE Server).
Hope this can help.
