Description Michael Harnois 2004-07-24 12:50:48 UTC 
mkboot is hard-coded to look for lilo or grub and does not recognize grub-static.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.cd /usr/src/linux
2.make
3.make install

Actual Results:  
WARNING: Your system is probably unbootable now.  After correcting any
problems, rerun this script with the command `mkboot -installkernel'.
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2


Expected Results:  
installed the kernel
