Hmm, I thought we had a recipe for Grub2 / Bazaar. I do remember having created that, but I'm not sure where that recipe landed on. In any case, the trouble we have with Grub2 is that there are way too many assumptions in the code about /dev being mounted on.. /dev. Stuff like calling readlink() on a device name and then assuming that the first 4 bytes are "/dev" were all over the place last time I looked at the code. The shortest path to get a running Grub2 system is to point /System/Kernel/Devices -> /dev rather than the other way round. fstab may need to be modified, too, to have all entries mounted on /dev, and possibly /System/Links/Tasks/Udev too. I'm out of machines and time right now to create a recipe, but I'll let you know if I happen to work on that this week.
