Won't run:

feivel:~# grub-install --recheck
install_device not specified.
Usage: grub-install [OPTION] install_device
Install GRUB on your drive.
 
  -h, --help  print this message and exit
  -v, --version   print the version information and exit
  --root-directory=DIRinstall GRUB images under the directory DIR
  instead of the root directory.
  --grub-shell=FILE   use FILE as the grub shell.
  --force-lba force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy
  BIOS.
  --recheck   probe a device map even if it already exists.
 
INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.
 
Reports bugs to .

This surely looks like a bug to me.

The problem is my device.map seems to be okay:

(fd0)   /dev/fd0
(hd0)   /dev/hda

Hm, have you tried running grub-install --recheck and then
reinstalling grub? Alternatively, you could just edit
/boot/grub/device.map. I don't know if this helps, but it has worked
for me.

HTH.
