hrm.  i tried this after trying --prefix='(hd,apple2)/' (which worked
fine) -- so maybe grub-mkimage ended up interpreting the empty string as
"keep what was there before", or it found the right thing in some other
clever way, triggered by the explicit setting of --prefix= ?  i confess
i don't really know.

I don't have access to the machine to test it today, but i'll try to
look at it later this week.
