[Bug 851336] [NEW] Strange grub-update error

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Using Ubuntu 11.10beta I encountered a strange error while performing an
update via "sudo apt-get upgrade" in the terminal.  The error reads:

/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or to a partition.  This is a BAD idea..
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..

My hard drive configuration is a pair of 32GB SSDs, one is the root and
boot partitions, the other is my home partition.  I've had this
configuration for about a year and never seen any warnings like this
before.  I haven't tried rebooting since this occured but I will report
back if it causes problems booting up.
