Installing Grub

Hi All

Right i am about to try to install Arch again on my dual boot, but i have a question regarding installing grub.  When you get to that part, do you install to /dev/sda ? or one of the other mount points ?

Many Thanks

Re: Installing Grub

Grub article in Arch Wiki wrote:

GRUB must be installed on the MBR (first sector of the hard disk), or the first partition of the first storage device to be recognized by most BIOS's. To allow individual distributions the ability to manage their own GRUB menus, multiple instances of GRUB can be used, see #chainloader and configfile.
