Status in Ubuntu Manual: Fix Committed

Bug description:
"fdisk -l" didn't show me anything unless I used sudo
>>FIXED

"sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/root" -> IMHO there should be a small
sidenote telling the user to replace "sda1" with whatever partition
fdsik told him Linux was on.
>>FIXED

"sudo grub-install -root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda" should be
"sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda"
>>FIXED

Finally the whole procedure didn't work for me. It installed Grub, but
it didn't show a list of boot options, it gave me a command line
interface instead. (Since I have a separate home partition anyway, and
needed my system repaired quickly I reinstalled karmic).
>>WON'T FIX
>>Instead, I will add useful links for trying other grub repair methods.
