Bug#586621: grub-pc bug #586621: not fixed yet

[Julien Plissonneau Duquène]

grub-setup still failing as of 1.98+20100702-1:
Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100702-1) ...
Replacing config file /etc/default/grub with new version
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition
instead of the MBR.  This is a BAD idea..
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be
installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are
UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: cannot read `/boot/grub/core.img' correctly.
Generating grub.cfg ...

Workaround unchanged:
echo -en '(,msdos2)/boot/grub' | dd of=/boot/grub/core.img bs=1 seek=540
conv=notrunc
grub-setup --verbose --force /dev/sda2
