No.




Sorry, I have no idea why this happens. I used grub only once, but at 
least I know it it did not take hours, it was about 1-2 seconds, or maybe 
even less, I did not stop the time :)
Is there something in syslog when you run this, or are the -v arguments 
that would make the process more verbose?

The old grub sometimes paused for around a minute because it searched for 
the floppy, the --no-floppy switch speeded this up.
