Thanks Tom.
So we know we *can* boot from a bare 7042, which is good!
I've poked a little more at this here, and I *think* the
BIOS is overwriting the 9th sector on the drive.
I'll test that theory a little more.

Confirmed. It writes "lgcy" + stuff into the 9th sector of the drive
(for my "Legacy" drive).
Where does Linux softraid put it's stuff ?
And Hein-Pieter: what are you using for a bootloader ?
Any GRUB experts out there? How do I get GRUB to install
the stage2 stuff on a partition, instead of in the first 63 sectors ?

Technically, I suppose it's the stage 1.5 stuff that's getting nuked.
Or something like that.
