With a specific (msdos) fdisk arrangement utilizing LVM and with /boot not mounted installing grub results in lvm warnings and then blocks the next startup.
Steps to reproduce
1) Build a disk according to the output of fdisk /dev/sda, lvm info and /etc/fstab
2) run boot-update which produces this boot.conf
3) manually unmount /dev/sda1 (/boot)
4) run grub installation /usr/sbin/grub-install --target=i386-pc --no-floppy /dev/sda
The output I get is
Installing for i386-pc platform.

Installation finished. No error reported.
While it claims no error, grub will not find grub.cfg at startup.
