Its very plain and clear if you RTM. grub-install writes a MBR that looks in /boot/grub for the menu. /boot/grub is this one here unless you use --root-directory So as a wild example: mount /dev/hda7 /mnt grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/hda It uses /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst It uses that directory even if you boot a system on /dev/hda6 and therefor booting /dev/hda6 and editing /boot/grub/menu.lst will have no effect!
