Package: grub2
Version: 1.95-5
Severity: important

I installed grub2 and invoked grub-install "(hd,0)". The output is 

~$ sudo grub-install "(hd,0)"
/boot/grub must be a mount point.

I use lvm but boot is a separate ext3 partition (/dev/hda1). I would 
very much liek to get grub2 working so if there is more information I 
can provide I will be happy to do so
