Oh, I misunderstood hollis, if that's true. I thought grubof will later
be the 'call it with a configuration, wait some seconds, and grub is
installed'-tool.

Btw, what will the way you advise,
   a) like yaboot, mount the bootstrap partiton only when writing config
   b) or mount it as /boot, modifiy grub.cfg on it?

I would like the later option, because as far as I understood, making
changes to grub.cfg does not need any command execution, as grub
(the binary, which can be loaded by of) didn't change.

Or is this assumption wrong?
