Hmmm... I've booted from DVD, switched to command line, mounted rpool and then diff'ed the stage1 and stage2 binaries. They are identical, so that can't be a problem. But things are getting even weirder. I booted from DVD, then chain-booted into the HD installation, reinstalled boot loader via installgrub and rebooted. The server went into GRUB menu without a problem and did that again as l resetted from GRUB menu.
But getting into GRUB menu works only until I boot through into multi user for the first time. After that, any subsequent boot will end in "GRUB _" or "GRUB loading stage2...". Huh??!
