I was trying to be short and not force other to read stuff that might not 
interest them. Bet testing to me is to try to avoid future pb's, and when I 
installed the Severn I did not see any possibility to save grub other than on 
the mbr. I wanted grub to be written to the /boot directory so I could read 
what it said.
When installing a new OS this might have psecific requirements for the grub 
like from part of my today set up:
