I very much know about this one, but thanks for making sure. Yet, we lack the code currently, and nobody has stepped in to provide it, meaning rc2 will have an unfixed grub-installer. In an ideal world, someone would submit a fix before r0, we could think about shipping an rc3 with it, and profit for r0. Mraw, KiBi.
