That was my expectation as well, but Dan said it should work, so I went
with it.  Of course, I've also tried it with then not RAIDed and the
results are identical, aside from the "canonoical path" error message in
syslog changing from /dev/md2 to /dev/nvme0n1p1.

Yes, it seems to be unique to the installer environment.  I made that
same trip in reverse, first trying to run grub-install, and then having
to go looking when that didn't exist.

Good thought.  It's a shell script, so I'll see if I can make sense of
what it's doing in [filesystem]/proc.
