That was about Grub2. Grub legacy, with a separate /boot partition, works fine. 
And I mean that the command "grub-install" or "grub-setup" fails to figure out 
how to access the /boot file system. It mistakenly starts searching how to 
access "/" (although it shouldn't), fails and thus fails the whole installation 
process. This bug is fixed in version 1.96.

Yes. However, you should install Grub into MBR first, and that failed with 
Grub-1.95.
