Install grub2 onto un-tarball'ed system

[Schmidt, Christian Thorge]

Hello group,

I frequently install systems from tarbell'ed systemimages. I use a USB thhumbdrive to boot, then prepare my HDD(s) and untar the system onto them, then proceed setting up grub.

After switching to grub2, Ubuntu 12.04's default bootloader, I cannot do my usual

$ grub

grub> root (hd0,0)

grub> (setup (hd0)

grub> quit

anymore - what would I do to install my tarball's grub2? The USB thumbdrive also has grub2 installed.

The HDD /dev/sda1 to prepare is mounted under /mnt/dest/ if that is of any importance.

Thank you,

 Christian.
