Thanks, this is useful information for me. But please could you be more specific: was this a default, automatic (preseed) or expert-mode install? Of which version (wheezy, jessie daily build?)) and from what type of install media (ISO image? mounted as virtual CDROM drive or as a hard disk?) Did you get this dialog first: | Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record? | <Go Back> <Yes> <No> or do you only see this: | Device for boot loader installation: | [o] Enter device manually | [ ] /dev/sda (ata-QEMU_HARDDISK_QM00001) and in case of the latter -- was "Enter device manually" the pre-selected option (if you were to hit Enter), or was /dev/sda pre-selected? > Seems like a silly question when > there is only 1 choice. There are actually other choices if you were to "Enter device manually" - you could install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. Or to some other device that GRUB wasn't able to detect. We need to provide a way to do that. Thanks, Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
