It may allow me to not install grub at all (I forget), but
then I have no way to boot that partition at all.

What I do now is have a small stand alone boot partition with grub
installed. all the boot entries in that grub (the only one the
cpu boots) have "configfile" entries pointing to other partitions
which have their own /boot, their own grub.cfg, without a jumbled
mixing of multiple different kernels and partitions in a single
grub.

I can do kernel updates and wot-not and only the grub that
goes with that kernel is modified. I don't have to constantly fix
what the default boot is after every kernel update in every partition.

(uefi, on the other hand, might discombobulate this technique,
so far even my very new motherboard will let me boot old dos style
so I haven't had to deal with uefi at all).
