All of the stage1/stage1_5/stage2 files are installed by grub into 
/usr/lib/grub/i386-oe/. I believe they're then copied to /boot during 
the grub install process. I think what the original 0.97 packager was 
going for was to avoid having duplicate copies of the files, so 
/boot/grub became a symlink to /usr/lib/grub/i386-oe, and then menu.lst 
needed to go there, too.

I would prefer to install all the files to /boot/grub rather than 
/usr/lib, since that's where they're used. I'll have to check if the 
grub install script is OK with that.

Mike
