Hi,
regarding those issues with R&R from grub: two things seem quite crucial to me after a bit of experimenting: one must not touch the mbr and one must not touch the partition type for that recovery partition (T43). As long as these two are observed, the rest seems to be fine. I am using this in my grub.conf:
title=IBM rescue and recover rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1
Partition type is 0x12 (compaq diagnostics in fdisk) and the MBR is T43's "factory" one.
I had to put GRUB in the MBR, since the default MBR would always boot into the Windows partition, even if I put GRUB in a primary partition and marked (only) that partition bootable.
