We use it something like this, in a different recipe for building the
image:


HOST_ARCH may need tweaking.

GRUB=${STAGING_DIR}/${HOST_ARCH}-linux/usr/lib/grub/${HOST_ARCH}-pc

#Build the image
dd if=/dev/zero of="${IMAGE}" bs=1M count=$SZ

# Set up mtools
echo "drive c: file=\"$IMAGE\" partition=1" > mtoolsrc
export MTOOLSRC=mtoolsrc

# Create filesystem

mpartition -I c:
mpartition -c -t $CYLINDERS -h 16 -s 63 c:
mformat c:
mmd c:/boot
mmd c:/boot/grub

# Install grub
mcopy "${GRUB}/stage1" c:/boot/grub
mcopy "${GRUB}/stage2" c:/boot/grub
mcopy "${GRUB}/fat_stage1_5" c:/boot/grub

echo "(hd0) $IMAGE" > bmap
echo -e "geometry (hd0) $CYLINDERS 16 63\nroot (hd0,0)\nsetup (hd0)" | grub --device-map=bmap --batch
