grub2 is also pretty poorly documented and seems to be stagnating - I
would be surprised if they got a stable release out the door in the next
year.  The devs have refused to patch grub 0.9.x to support GPT
partitions, not on a technical basis but because it's a "grub2 feature".
Mean while the world has moved on and having a boot block device > 2TB
isn't that usual anymore.  I have to build my own liveCDs with a patched
grub because of this.
