I think that's right, assuming /dev/sda is the boot drive (not |
| 18 |
necessarily the same as the one on which your /boot directory |
| 19 |
exists!). |

If you haven't made sure that the stages matched the rest of grub in |
| 22 |
the past, I'd suggest being very careful in setting it up, but do it, |
| 23 |
and then perhaps not upgrading grub again unless there is a very good |
| 24 |
reason. The stable grub series is about the last thing for which |
| 25 |
upgrading makes a difference, I would think. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I did that for a few years, but now instead I keep DONT_MOUNT_BOOT=1 |
| 28 |
in my make.conf so that grub doesn't actually affect my boot process |
| 29 |
unless and until I want it to. |
