You were just lucky. If you had been less lucky, your fat32 filesystem could
have been corrupted and all data on it could have been lost.
There is no option in 10.2 to disable grub-once (short of editing the
scripts, which you are free to do, but if it breaks you get to keep
the pieces), and there will be none, at least not as long as i am
maintaining the package.
