I'm looking for a way to determine whether grub is installed on a drive WITHOUT having to actually attempt to boot from it. If I redo the installation, then I can be sure it's installed, but if it's already there, I'd rather leave it alone. There's no point in messing with it if it's already installed.
You could dd the MBR to a file and then examine both. You could diff them, I think they should be identical, should they?
