OK, I just added grub-install to libguestfs:
http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=b55bf8158f0b7f6...
(Make sure you have a back up of your guest image before experimenting
with this ...)
Looking at that patch wouldn't specifying /dev/sda as device actually
overwrite the physical boot sector on the host system rather than the one
in the image?
Or does libguestfs manipulate the device table so that access to /dev/sda
get automatically gets re-routed to access the image instead?
