>Description:
$bootdir is empty on NetBSD, but grub-install will try to mkdir it, which
results in an error, and grub-install failing completely.
>How-To-Repeat:
grub-install '(hd0)' or some such, watch it fail.
>Fix:
Add patches/patch-ai and make makepatchsum. I guess bump PKGREVISION as well.
This should probably be sent upstream.
