Okay, so the bootloader in the MBR is, in effect, calling to the installation location of GRUB (/boot) and because I have that located on sda5, which is above the 1024 limit, it won't work. So the EISA partition is causing problems. I need to move it out of the way and setup a /boot partition at the beginning of the disk and then install GRUB to that location. I think I have a copy of gparted lying around somewhere, so I'll try to find it and give this a try. I'll fill you in on the results.
