Description Luigi Belli 2004-01-26 11:35:57 UTC

After the merge, grub-install is called with a bad option,

>>> /sbin/grub-install   /merge finished/
Unrecognized option `--just-copy'
Usage: grub-install [OPTION] install_device
Install GRUB on your drive.

  -h, --help              print this message and exit
  -v, --version           print the version information and exit
  --root-directory=DIR    install GRUB images under the directory DIR
                          instead of the root directory
  --grub-shell=FILE       use FILE as the grub shell
  --no-floppy             do not probe any floppy drive
  --force-lba             force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy
                          BIOS
  --recheck               probe a device map even if it already exists

INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

This happened today on three different machines, one of those was being installed for the first time.
After that stage images are missing from /boot/grub
