Hi all!
I tried to install grub2 on the image mounted via loop device
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-grub/2008-12/msg00009.html).
And it turned out to be impossible with standard grub-install utility.
The reason is
grub-probe error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/loop2
This error occurs then grub tries to define drive by device name parsing. See file: biosdisk.c function: get_os_disk.
Only scsi and ide disks supported by this function.
My problem resolved by using low-level utilities grub-mkimage and grub-setup.

Please try the current code from the subversion repository.
get_os_disk() doesn't exist in the code anymore.
