Maybe it should say "To re-create core.img in the root partition" - I
may change that - thanks ;)
No - nothing is written to the PBR - only /boot/grub2/i386-pc/core.img
is written.
This has already been created during the package installation, hence the
use of "re-install" - just in case it's ever needed.
