Just FYI:

Installation/Installing GRUB using grub-install:
----
*Caution:* This procedure is definitely deprecated, because there
are several posibilities that your computer can be unbootable. For
example, most operating systems don't tell GRUB how to map BIOS drives
to OS devices correctly, GRUB merely "guesses" the mapping. This will
succeed in most cases, but not always. So GRUB provides you with a
user-defined map file called "device map", which you must fix, if it is
wrong.

Look at
# info grub
Installation/Installing GRUB natively:
Short form:
----
root (hd0,5)
setup (hd0)
----
will install grub in mbr of the first harddisk (hd0) an look for its
config and other grub files on the second logical Partition (hd0,5 --
presumable /dev/hda6)
CU
thl
BTW: fedora-test-list is IMHO not the right place for this
I ran grub-install many times and I never noticed any messages about
deprecation ???
