Oh, I seem to have missed that. By now I found out that grub is configured in /boot/grub, I just haven't seen any way to tell grub to install the MBR in /dev/sda, when I change the boot order in the BIOS, it obviously fails LI...

Sorry, no idea, thats how it looks on my box. Maybe d-i expected a SCSI CD-Rom, while I currently only have an IDE CD-Rom? I've been trying to setup SElinux with little luck on this box, so maybe I'll have to use d-i again when it's screwed up completely. Anything I could test wrt the media/cdrom issue?
