That's interesting to know. I have a vfat boot partition, and trying
to boot, grub complained once that one of the stage1_5 files was
missing. I don't remember which one, I think reiserfs even though I
don't have any reiserfs partitions. This was probably a bug in grub's
implementation of vfat booting, but ever since then, I just copy all
of the stage1_5 files to /boot/grub. They're not big enough for me to
care when my kernels are ~2M.
