If you will fix it change [ against [[ in the
nfsroot /usr/sbin/grub-install:  

The prepare line looks like that: 
if [[ `grub-probe -t fs ${grubdir}` = "xfs" ]] ; then

But as Thomas says you can: "Just ignore this error!"

But: grub-probe: error: Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map'
may be a problem.  
Have you also upgraded the pxe boot with fai-chboot or a editor. 
If not you can run into a problem with a old kernel and newer modules
in the nfs-root. But I have seen other error messages as I was fighting
with this problem. 

To put a boot sector on all raid drives you need a patched: 
/config/files/boot/grub/menu.lst/postinst

Or is there are a other solution?
