Strange problem...

[Jared Ream]

I've been trying to install Grub as part of an automated
new-system-imaging process.  When I invoke Grub in batch mode and pass
commands to it (in a fashion which, under "normal" circumstances works
just fine), I get 12 modprobe errors - two claiming it can't find
block-major-33, two claiming it can't find block-major-34, and eight
claiming it can't find block-major-8.

I don't understand what these mean, and obviously Grub isn't properly
installed when all is said and done.  I can make it work by booting from
a Grub floppy and installing it that way, but we're trying to automate
the process of setting up a new machine as much as possible.

Is there something I'm missing?  Is this just a limitation of Grub?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
