Note: I remember the first installation of Grub into the internal 
HD MBR while installing Debian 6 on Firewire: Where was no 
warning, but on reboot the Laptop was dead on the rescue prompt of 
Grub (which could do only 'ls' and nothing else). "error: device 
not found" or so. and even the original Windows on intern could 
not be started.

Maybe there can be added a check&warning at install time if Grub 
cannot load its own modules (which obviously remained on the 
Firewire parititition.)
