Package: grub
Version: 0.93+cvs20030224-2
Severity: normal

"info grub-install" includes the following:

#   `--grub-shell=FILE'
#        Use FILE as the grub shell. You can append arbitrary options to
#        FILE after the file name, like this:
#
#         grub-install --grub-shell="grub --read-only" /dev/fd0

This does not work:

    [~]# grub-install --grub-shell="grub --read-only" /dev/fd0
    grub --read-only: Not found.
    [~]# grub-install --grub-shell='grub --read-only' /dev/fd0
    grub --read-only: Not found.

I can't reproduce the error in 0.97-1 version of grub

:~# grub-install --grub-shell="grub --read-only" /dev/fd0
grub: Not found.

since grub is not a filename changed to

:~# grub-install --grub-shell="/sbin/grub --read-only" /dev/fd0
/dev/fd0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

so it reads --read-only as supposed.

I'm closing this bug then, fell free to reopen it if you disagree.
