Curiously enough, with the proper invocation to "install", GRUB will
use /boot/grub/menu.1st. I should know ...
$ ls /boot/grub
device.map
e2fs_stage1_5
fat_stage1_5
ffs_stage1_5
jfs_stage1_5
menu.1st
minix_stage1_5
reiserfs_stage1_5
stage1
stage2
vstafs_stage1_5
xfs_stage1_5
No wonder "setup" never worked <*g*>. It's a bad choice of name, as
l I and 1 are easy to misread (and most other files seem to have a 1
in the name...). Wonder why they didn't just use "menu"?
