well, the minimum fixes to take into account the fact that we install
grub files directly in /boot/grub

well, i know a pb in grub-install: one can't use standard device names
(as opposed to devfs names) when devfs is mounted since grub-install
uses "df" which displays devfs names.

so

% grub-install /dev/hda

fails, whereas

% grub-install /dev/ide/hosts0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

works.
