Files included in

  # rpm -q grub2
  grub2-1.99-6.fc16.x86_64

refer to a mysterious $prefix that is not explained in the documentation. By searching for specific config file names, references to /boot/grub/ are found, but the Fedora grub2 package uses /boot/grub2/ instead:

$ rpmls grub2|grep ^d
drwxr-xr-x  /boot/grub2
drwxr-xr-x  /etc/grub.d
drwxr-xr-x  /usr/lib/grub
drwxr-xr-x  /usr/lib/grub2
drwxr-xr-x  /usr/lib/grub2/i386-pc
drwxr-xr-x  /usr/share/doc/grub2-1.99

# zgrep -1 custom.cfg /usr/share/info/grub2.info.gz
custom menu entries to the end of the list can be done by editing
`/etc/grub.d/40_custom' or creating `/boot/grub/custom.cfg', changing
the order of menu entries or changing their titles may require making

# zgrep -1 grubenv /usr/share/info/grub2.info.gz
   The environment block is a preallocated 1024-byte file, which
normally lives in `/boot/grub/grubenv' (although you should not assume
this).  At boot time, the `load_env' command (*note load_env::) loads


At least /etc/grub.d/41_custom could mention what $prefix it refers to, or where this is defined.
