For the floppy, you said you couldn't boot the cd with it, so it might or might not boot the HD.

But if you manage to get grub on to the hd, it will boot :)

I managed to get /dev/sdc6 to correctly "HD-install" to it with no errors. I used "cfdisk /dev/sdc" and created two partitions "/dev/sdc5" and "/dev/sdc6". Looks okay. When it was installing grub I messed up when it asked me if windows was on the first disk "/dev/hda1" and I said "n" because it is on "/dev/sda1".Needless to say grub did not install properly. How would I install grub in the "MBR" and point to my DSL in "/dev/sdc6"? Would it install the grub in the MBR of "/dev/sda" or in "/dev/sda1"? Thanks again. I'll try the previous post if grub cannot be installed manually.

I think you are only supposed to use the partition name, such as "hda1", not the device.
