1. grub2 depends grub-pc
2. grub-pc 'suggests' os-prober'
Grub2 uses 'os-prober' to find other os's. I have had time when this process
did not work, make sure os-prober is installed, on my Lenny it is 'suggested'
for grub-pc.
Squeeze works here though.
If you use one mbr to boot all you will need to pick which os to configure
grub. If you can't get to the one os you want to manage your disks use an
alternate means to chroot into it, make sure os-prober is installed, then
run 'update-grub'.
