I haven't updated these instructions for GRUB 2, which is substantially different from GRUB Legacy, so they likely won't work. Yes, you’re correct.

It was extremely useful. For people who are following the steps outlined above two years after publishing the post, be aware of two new hurdles: - Nowadays that there are two versions of grub, make sure to use the same version of grub-install and the grub that you install in the guest file system. - grub-install didn't work out as straight forward as described in this post. I speculate - though I haven't verified - that grub-install have been updated in a way that it now resolves symbolic links. "/dev/mapper/hda" will be translated into some "/dev/dm-X". When the latter is searched for in the "device.map" it is simply not found. You guys still interested in this post might need to hack the grub-install to disable resolving symbolic links. Thanks again! Thanks a lot for this post. It was extremely useful.
