Don't bother. You don't need to go through that mayhem. grub2-install /dev/sda if it whines and says you'll need to use a map file then fine. Make sure there are no other errors reported, you've got the right disk etc and do grub2-install -f /dev/sda providing your /boot isnt on LVM, and you don't do anything insane like run third party defrag tools on it then it will all just work. If you ever do, then rerun grub2-install and all will be well. Really the install should handle this. It's *stupid* having an installer which solves the 'shortage of boot space' problem by leaving the user silently with an unbootable box. It should ask permission if need be or just use -f.
