Package: debian-installer Severity: important Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer,
I used the debian-installer yesterday: daily build for testing, netinst image, hybrid ISO image written directly to a usb key, expert mode. The installer correctly detected that Debian was the only OS installed (on a fresh SSD) but then failed to write the boot sector. The reason is that it tried to write to /dev/sda, which was the USB key containing the netinstall image. It should instead have tried to write to /dev/sdb, which was the SSD. Removing the usb key and retrying solved the issue. This is annoying nonetheless. IMHO, the installer should: - try to install on the device which holds the /boot partition, - or at least, allow to select which drive to install grub on.
