I apologize if I've missed it somewhere, but does grub support booting from a multi-device btrfs root sub-volume without a separate /boot?

I left the chroot, and installed grub to that disk from my old root, but it won't boot from my new volume. Does anyone have some advice, or should I just move to a separate /boot?

Thanks, =-Jameson

I have a btrfs partition (no seperate /boot) and I recommend using syslinux. 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.
