I have machines with multiple operating systems, and use a "master" GRUB
in its own small partition with the boot code in the MBR, and a "slave"
GRUB embedded in each operating system's boot partition. I don't know if
this is still true (the message is quite old), but it's why I've always
used a separate ext2 /boot partition in that scenario.

"As we all know, you cannot install grub into an XFS partition because
the XFS superblock is in sector 0 of the partition."
