After updating grub to version 0.97-r6 I got the following message:
* *** IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run grub and install
* the new version's stage1 to your MBR. Until you do,
* stage1 and stage2 will still be the old version, but
* later stages will be the new version, which could
* cause problems such as an unbootable system.
Most users are supposed to see this message this times. Maybe it would be
helpful to add a URL describing how to install the new version's stage1 to the
MBR. I would propose this one:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=10#grub-install-auto
This would help users avoid the 15 minutes it took me to find this explanation
;-)
