It's been at least a year since I last consulted any online grub2
documentation but there were definitely some very good explanations
and howtos available. The tools and scripts that build grub.cfg have
become far better than they were when, for example, Ubuntu 9.10 was
released and they didn't recognize a Fedora initrd (if you were
dual-booting Fedora and Ubuntu) and sometimes misidentified the "/"
and "/boot" partitions. Since then many bugs have been squashed, many
refinements made, and  features added (like having "/boot" on a v1.x
metadata mdraid array or a partitioned mdraid array).

Fedora's always had very good documentation so we'll eventually have
something good on fp.o.

I prefer grub1 though because if you want to customize grub.cfg beyond
what grub2 upstream thinks that you can/should, you have to edit the
scripts in "/etc/grub.d/" - and that's more trouble than it's really
worth.
