I see. You want it to be user-proof. Then we need to check every "cp" and
every "mv", otherwise we are screwed if all steps but one succeed. And
probably /boot/grub/device.map will be incomplete when grub is run by a
user.
Anyway, I like the idea of running "make floppy" before (or without)
running "make install". I'll have a look how to implement is in
grub-install
