There is no information in the documentation on how to get Grub to work with a hard drive that uses a "dynamic drive overlay" (DDO) program that must reside in the MBR.

There are many older motherboards out there whose latest BIOS cannot be upgraded to support the newer drives. As a result, drive manufacturers have created Dynamic Drive Overlay programs that will augment a BIOS capability to support their larger drives. There is much confusion on how to use Grub in a DDO environment. Having documentation mention DDO and how to use Grub in this environment would avoid the confusion and make Grub more useful.
