If you don't mind manually typing in Yeah, but I definitely remember that Grub installs stuff on other sectors of the first track, probably staring with the second sector. So it should be able to store the menu stuff there too, but I don't know if it actual can (I also had it using the menu file in /boot/boot/grub, I think it was for some odd reason).
