So far I that now, is that now changed. You have to mount it before
you emerge grub. The following is from the ebuild grub-0.97-r6.ebuild:
-- Quote begin ---------
pkg_postinst() {
if [[ -n ${DONT_MOUNT_BOOT} ]]; then
elog "WARNING: you have DONT_MOUNT_BOOT in effect, so you must
apply"
elog "the following instructions for your /boot!"
elog "Neglecting to do so may cause your system to fail to boot!"
elog
else
setup_boot_dir "${ROOT}"/boot
# Trailing output because if this is run from pkg_postinst, it
gets mixed into
# the other output.
einfo ""
fi
elog "To interactively install grub files to another device such as
a USB"
elog "stick, just run the following and specify the directory as
prompted:"
elog " emerge --config =${PF}"
elog "Alternately, you can export GRUB_ALT_INSTALLDIR=/path/to/use
to tell"
elog "grub where to install in a non-interactive way."
}
-- Quote end ------
