I really need to update that as it is now quite out of date. Ignore it
for now and just install the updated package from my ppa, then install
normally. You should choose the manual partition option and make sure
to select to install to the same partition as last time, then change the
grub install device at the end, and it should all just work.

That looks like grub 1. We are using grub 2 these days.
