    Ok, since c4t3d0s0 IS failing to accept the installgrub here goes:

    # installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0s0
    Partition 0 of the disk has an incorrect offset
    Unable to gather device information for /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0s0

    and

    # installgrub /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0s0
    Partition 0 of the disk has an incorrect offset
    Unable to gather device information for /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0s0

    I'm still nervous about running this on my (apparently) only bootable disk... (c4t2d0s0)
