Package: grub
Version: 0.5.93.1
Severity: normal

        I have a new 20G drive.  Installing grub for the first time, I
followed the instructions and used stage1.  When I tried to boot, I
(understandably) got a Geom Error since it's a large drive.  I had noticed
there was a stage1_lba and tried it out.  Worked fine.  I already knew
grub supported large disks (which is why I am now using it) but I missed
this the first time because the docs make no mention of needing a
different stage1 file in such a situation.
