You only need to update stuff for grub once - when installing it.
And during installation, it's ok to run it multiple times, once for
each component device - not a big deal really.  Just like you will
partition your disks and install an MBR - once for each disk.

After installation, grub does not need to modify boot records - only
/boot/grub/menu.lst (whatever) file is updated to reflect your kernels,
and this is a normal file (grub will find it by its own, by properly
reading the filesystem).
