There are two different bugs:
* This warning is not clarifying and does not explain the danger, nor
does it point to a stable URL for further references.
* Grub2 became so greedy that finally we have the only booting scheme
that cannot fit decently and politely inside its own partition, leaving
to the owner of the computer the decision of whatever he wants to put
inside MBR. This is more arrogant than Windows overriding MBR during
install, as for the latter there is at least the reliable circumvention
of reinstalling to the MBR whatever was there before.
The second is a severe bug but it should be filed separately.
** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR.
This is a BAD idea.
