This doesn't work:
mmiller@xpc1:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sdc
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 484: /usr/sbin/grub: cannot execute binary file
/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 484: /usr/sbin/grub: cannot execute binary file
/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 484: /usr/sbin/grub: cannot execute binary file
/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 484: /usr/sbin/grub: cannot execute binary file
/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 484: /usr/sbin/grub: cannot execute binary file
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
Maybe this is related to my original problem of not being able to chroot
into that i386 system:
mmiller@xpc1:~$ sudo chroot /mnt/debinst /bin/bash
chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
