The problem is that the pdf is the exact copy of info grub. It is

no examples of how you USE Grub. This was my original problem with Grub.
When I decided to put /boot and /home in their own partitions I
discovered that the Grub docs stink. I want a better user document for Grub.
A commendable aspiration - contributing accurate and correct
documentation is very welcomed. However:
a) It has to be correct and accurate.
b) A mailing list is not the right medium to publish documentation.
There's a wealth of documentation on grub for you to consult already.
Did you look at this, for example:

I just looked at it and it fails in the same way they all do. I
looked with interest at what he said about loading another grub. I hoped
for real instructions but instead I got hand waving. Look at it yourself.
There was a guy on here last week trying to do the same thing and
just lucked into the proper grub.conf words. After about 10 tries.
Still think Grub Manual stinks.
