Thanks, I'll try that.  Buildroot installed:

GRUB_SOURCE:=grub_0.97.orig.tar.gz
GRUB_PATCH=grub_0.97-5.diff.gz
GRUB_SITE=http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/grub

I've had trouble before with build systems trying to use the debian servers
as a source.  Things seem to get changed there fairly often.

I have cramfs and ext2 turned on.  I expected to see /boot/grub in the
root files regardless of the target.  Again, I'll look at the iso
target.

I think I can install it either from the workstation, or from the
target system.  I can boot from a network right now, but that cable
isn't part of the long term plan.
