Grub2 appears to have a major regression in that installing into the PBR no longer works. Note - I'm talking about non-MBR installs, ie: installing Grub into a Partition Boot Record. I haven't looked into this in any depth yet, as I only discovered it while testing out Ubuntu 9.10 which has moved to Grub2. Background - I tend to have a zillion OS's installed (both Linux and non- Linux) and use a thing called Smart Boot Manager to manage the MBR. For example, if I install Ubuntu 9.04 on sda9, installing the Grub that comes with Ubuntu 9.04 into the PBR of sda9 keeps things quite tidy and self- contained. This scenario has worked well for years... I'd be interested in hearing about the Grub2 escapades of others who are accustomed to installing Grub into a PBR.
