Is this really enough? There are some other places where a partition
table is loaded.
izzy@grub% grep MBR stage2/*.c
stage2/builtins.c: /* Read the MBR here, because it might be modified
stage2/builtins.c:/* Embed a Stage 1.5 in the first cylinder after MBR or in the
stage2/builtins.c: /* Embed it after the MBR. */
stage2/builtins.c: /* No floppy has MBR. */
stage2/builtins.c: /* Read the MBR of CURRENT_DRIVE. */
stage2/builtins.c: if (! rawread (current_drive, PC_MBR_SECTOR, 0, SECTOR_SIZE,
mbr))
stage2/builtins.c: if (! PC_MBR_CHECK_SIG (mbr))
stage2/builtins.c: "Embed the Stage 1.5 STAGE1_5 in the sectors after MBR if DEVICE"
stage2/builtins.c: /* If for a hard disk, copy the possible MBR/extended part table.

stage2/builtins.c: /* We install GRUB into the MBR, so try to embed
the
stage2/builtins.c: Stage 1.5 in the sectors right after the MBR.
