Bug#362028: Same problem with JFS

[Raphael Champeimont (Almacha)]

found 362028 0.97-27etch1
thanks

I found this bug also happens when using JFS, ie:
grub-install fails on a newly formatted JFS partition

To reproduce:
1. Boot a debian etch system which has grub 0.97-27etch1
2. Format an unused partition using JFS (mkfs.jfs [partition])
3. grub-install [partition], it will fail
3. grub-install [partition] (same command again), it will *work*

The same idea can be tested against different FS.

The bug occurs when using:
- reiserfs
- jfs

The bug does NOT occur when using:
- ext3
- reiser4

Testing xfs makes no sense as it does not allow installing a bootloader
at the beginning of the partition.



Here is the output I get when making the test with JFS:

Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
