It should work fine.  I've even done it before rebooting after installing. 
That's how I've been debugging the grub installer problems.  You just need to 
chroot to /mnt/sysimage.  I also found at some point that doing "su -" was also 
necessary.  I don't remember exactly what issues I ran into without that, but I 
always do it now and everything just works.
