No. See grub-install.in carefully. If you set ROOTDIR to /boot/grub,
then the script will copy GRUB images to /boot/grub/boot/grub. That's
not what you want to do. The problem here is that GRUB doesn't know
how to ``mount'' partitions. I don't think there is any general way to
solve the "separate partition" problem automatically, so the user
should specify the root directory explicitly.
