I noticed that too. Also, if you just follow the beginners guide without using
the grub2 page, you end up installing grub2 wrong because the beginners guide
omits the --target flag for grub-install. There should be links to:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub2#Install_to_440-byte_MBR_boot_code_region

for the most common install. Instead the beginners_guide just says to:

  grub-install /dev/sda

which according to the grub2 wiki will result in the grub2 error on:

"source_dir doesn't exist"

  I went ahead and updated the Beginners_Guide Configure the Bootloader section
to point to the Grub2 wiki and added the additional grub-install flags
recommended in the Grub2 page.
