When you want to use grub you have to patch it first. So that grub can install itself on the boot record of the partition..

What am I doing wrong?  Lilo works OK.
I'm using Debian testing, GRUB version 0.97-13.

Here is a sample session showing that the file does exist and is on
a partition which I believe GRUB can use.

   ~# grub-install /dev/sda
   The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
   ~# grub-install /dev/sda4
   The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
   ~# l /boot/grub/stage1
   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 2006-08-15 11:41 /boot/grub/stage1
   ~# df /boot/grub/.
   Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
   /dev/sda4               122835     18826     97456  17% /boot
   ~# grep sda4 /proc/mounts
   /dev/sda4 /boot ext3 rw,data="" 0 0
   ~#

Any idea?
