Hi horseriver:
    The MBR contain a part of the grub code, because there is not enough
space in MBR just 446 byte (I remembered.)
to contain the boot loader code. So this code in the MBR must load the
other part of the grub ,then the other part of the
grub can load the kernel to memery....      Sorry for my poor English.
