OK, no problem. I made an ext2 FS, but whatever.

Here's where things fall apart:
# grub-install --root-dir=/floppy '(fd0)'
More than one install_devices?
Usage: grub-install [OPTION] install_device
Install GRUB on your drive.
-h, --help print this message and exit
-v, --version print the version information and exit
--root-directory=DIR install GRUB images under the directory DIR
instead of the root directory.
--grub-shell=FILE use FILE as the grub shell.
--force-lba force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy
BIOS.
--recheck probe a device map even if it already exists.
INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

This is GRUB 0.5.96.1 on a Progeny Debian 1.0 system. (Progeny uses
GRUB as their default loader; I have no idea how much they tweaked it.)
Any ideas? Should I upgrade to GRUB 0.9? Looks like it's available
through the Debian archive.
