Using boot.cfg

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

Well, I just updated my four machines from 4.99.60 to 4.99.62.  Funny 
thing, though, only two of them display the new boot menu from /boot.cfg 
file.  My rather ancient (3+ years) i386 laptop worked, as did my newest 
amd64 machine with quad-core CPU.  But the two other amd64 boxes, both 
with "only" dual-core CPU, just gave me the same old 5-second count-
down.

I assume I need to update some part of the boot sequence to make it find 
the boot.cfg stuff, but I'm another one of those who never really "got" 
the PC-bootstrap sequence so I'm not sure which part of things I need to 
update.  Is it the MBR boot code from fdisk?  Or secondary boot code 
(not sure where it lives)?  Or tertiary from /boot ?

TIA
