Sorry, forgot my mail... grub-install is a shell script which calls grub, and so /sbin/grub (ergo grub-gfx's grub).
Interesting.. would something like this be better? chroot $DESTDIR /sbin/grub-install --recheck $ROOTDEV >/tmp/grub.log 2>&1
Not without further testing ;-) It's one step to enter a chroot, but a other to step out again (AFAIK the installer script looks for SUCCESS or similar in /tmp/grub.log, and which /tmp is affected? The chroot'ed or the ISO-root? These are things we should carefully research/fix for the next ISOs (> 2009.01) - either by complete (re)check archlinux-installer or on aif. Currently i think the best way for 2009.01 would be to fix the grub-gfx package for x86_64.
