Details

Description:
my partition layout is MBR, sda1 - /boot (ext2), sda5 - / (btrfs)
The install script ignores the /boot (mounted) partition and sets root to (hd0,msdos5) instead of (hd0,msdos1).
I was told at irc freenode #grub that: "<phcoder> laloch: could you (a) try bzr ( we noticed and fixed a mismerge yesterday) ...". I've built and tried revision 3233 and indeed, it solved the problem.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
grub2-common 1.99~rc2-1

Steps to reproduce:
grub-install --no-floppy --recheck /dev/sda
This task depends upon

@leprechau: This is a different problem which is already fixed upstream. See FS #23938.
