Followup:
Doing grub-install if the partition you install to isn't mounted at /boot
produces a nonworking image.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/74grf6t3hy5lp9t/disk%20diff.png?dl=0 is the diff
of the first few hundred lines of output from hexdump of a disk image that
booted (because it was at /boot) and didn't.
So that's neat.
