The documentation for grub-install is incomplete, at least in 10.1. There
is only the man page, with this mention:

| The full documentation for grub-install is maintained as a Texinfo

| info grub-install

but "info grub-install" gives the exact same info, there is no "info"
page.

Thus, I have an "/etc/grub.conf" file which I can not understand, and I
think it has a mistake:

install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd3,1)/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd3,1)/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd3,1)/grub/menu.lst
root (hd1,1)
install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 d (hd1,1) /grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd1,1)/grub/menu.lst
quit
