As stage1, stage2 etc. will be upgraded in /boot/grub and also in /lib/grub/i386-pc. You should also check if /etc/mtab is available, because grub-install require this file to determine your partition structure.

Should /boot be mounted to upgrade grub? If /boot is not mounted by default, then yes. The menu.lst and grub.conf files live in /boot/grub and these are updated when grub is upgraded, although menu.lst is usually a symlink to grub.conf. If you're upgrading grub through the emerge process, then /boot will be mounted for you, IIRC. -- Ian Hilt Awesome thanks guys. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

NOTHING should EVER mount or unmount something on a users system w/o being explicitely allowed to do so. People unmount (or mount ro) /boot for a reason and no package manager should change that behind the users back! See this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223311 Bye...
