Hmm, then how about this DG945GCLF that I have here, that with absolutely nothing attached takes 10 seconds to tell me there is no boot device.
With a single SATA drive grub shows up in 13.
You know a modern bios, from Intel, on a hardware somewhat related to the same netbooks that you are booting moblin on in 5?
