Hi all!I tried to install grub2 on the image mounted via loop device (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-grub/2008-12/msg00009.html).
And it turned out to be impossible with standard grub-install utility. The reason is grub-probe error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/loop2 This error occurs then grub tries to define drive by device name parsing. See file: biosdisk.c function: get_os_disk. Only scsi and ide disks supported by this function. My problem resolved by using low-level utilities grub-mkimage and grub-setup.
