If the grub version doesn't work for you, try the syslinux version. Some BIOSes don't work well with CDs containing grub. Anyway, the bootloader used on the image has nothing to do with the bootloader that you will install to your hard disk. This is all going to change with the next snapshot. There will just be one image per architecture, and that will use syslinux. It's a hybrid image, so it can be used on either a CD or a USB stick. Have a great day, -- Chris
