 Because GRUB 2 was formerly developed under the project PUPA, there  
 remain still many places where PUPA is used instead of GRUB 2. So  
 suppose that PUPA is a synonym of GRUB 2 for now.

 Because GRUB 2 is still in developmental stage, GRUB 2 is not for general  
 use (yet). For now, you can install GRUB 2 into a floppy by these  
 instructions:  
   
 $ configure && make  
 $ ./grub-mkimage -v -d . -o core.img _chain ext2  
 $ dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1  
 $ dd if=core.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1  
   
 It would be easier to use Bochs <http://bochs.sf.net/> than a real  
 machine.
