An observation to Rotbart. Yes, it works fine when you install grub stage1 to the MBR. If you install stage1 to the root partition superblock, it fails. That's where the bug is. Why the partition superblock? That's the safest procedure if you have more than two OSs installed in the same system. You boot from one and use that one to access the bootloader of others as per the multiboot spec and or play with active partition tags.
