When I do `grub-install /dev/sda', it unfortunately says:

 Installing for i386-pc platform.
 grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding.
 grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed
  in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and
  their use is discouraged.
 grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
 
I'm afraid, I'd better delete the system and install it again onto an `ext3'
filesystem?

Thanks,

Rodolfo
