The grub man pages are, ahem, skimpy. IIRC it's all of three paragraphs.
The full story is in the info pages, but the way they are written pretty
much requires that you do go through all of it in sequence. And they
are also written with the assumption that the reader understands the
confines a boot loader has to work in.
