But why should you be finding stage1 loader? Do you have boot problems or it is just plain curiousity how far you can afford to break the system?

Hi gheist
The server has not been rebooted since over a year. I was concerned will it boot fine if I reboot it?

Thanks. Do you advise running update-grub on a production server?
Yes, and upgrade to 5.10 since you are planning a reboot.
