I agree that grub-install and the other tools should know more about /boot/grub being a separate partition in order to be able to mount it for a correct install. Not so much on the two boostrap partitions, my tiny one as generated by the Debian installer ages ago is good enough to hold a copy of GRUB and a "just in case" copy of yaboot. But of course, this could be an optional setup. /dev/hda2 974K 697K 278K 72% /boot/grub See Michel Dänzer's post I just forwarded. Besides what you pointed out, it seems there are other serious problems with the new HFS patch which make it fail as before.
