I am having difficulty installing grub on lvm.

I was trying to install grub after changing hard drives by running

grub-install /dev/sdc

and it complains that

/dev/mapper/vg_petrosserver-lv_root does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

Why does it do this? How do I tell it which drive to install on to?

You cannot install grub to LVM. It must be a primary partition.

So, do I need a seperate boot partition? How would I specify that with grub-install ?
