Hi,

On my system, grub-setup generates the following warning:

 Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged.

Since "blocklists" is plural, the pronoun "their" should be used
instead of "its."  I've attached a patch to do so.
