Not to mention i've never met a person yet to get an emergency
reisntall of a server from rsync'd/tape backups with grub to boot properly
first go.. its sposed to be some crap like
chroot /mnt/blah
grub-install /dev/sda
grub
root (hd0,0)
setup
reboot
hmmmm a lot of extra crap to do there considering with lilo its
chroot /mnt/blah
lilo
reboot
and works first go everytime without fail!
