Hello,

i have installed a hard disk into a soekris net8801 and now I have the 
following problem:

using "boot 80" from comBIOS gives GRUB menu from the installed hard 
disk and everything works fine.

But using "set bootdrive 80" or the like to make this the default boot 
device dose not work. Even after a reset the soekris won't boot from 
harddrive.

Here is a screenshot from a boot session. If I insert a "reboot" after 
this, it boots from PXE again but not from harddrive.
