This patch adds support for grub-installer to efika/pegasos. It was known to
work a while ago on my setup, but unfortunately I can't test it right now since
I was using a borrowed hard disk and had to return it.
There's an odd requirement: that user previously makes /boot/grub a mount point
via partman. This is due to current grub-install design and will need some
effort/discussion to change (start it up on grub-devel if you're up to it).
Some testing would be appreciated, as well as comments on the patch.
Thanks!
