You won't even have to upgrade to Grub2. Well, I'm trying to migrate an existing install that is already booting from grub(2). I could have sworn that I read that syslinux didn't support booting from a non-separate /boot btrfs partition. I suspect it's the multi-device part that's the issue. I'm just going to try, again with a separate /boot partition, and see how it goes.
