Why exactly don't we list partitions anymore? (see https://github.com/Dieterbe/aif/commit/55190c0c81fc76f8b2b3983e790f2c7aacf4e...) IIRC you said it shouldn't be really needed, but turns out it is: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25726 see also http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2011-March/001557.html
so we should probably list again all blockdevices (partitions and devices themselves)
Last time I tried installing grub into a partition (which is a while ago), it kept complaining a lot and refusing to install. Grub is weird that way. My rationale is this: 1.) You want to chainload grub: There is no need to chainload grub. If you want to use grub from a different system, you can just add Arch to that grub instance manually. 2.) You don't want to chainload grub: Put it in the MBR then. More importantly: Don't use grub, use syslinux (which will always install in the /boot partition).
