1. You are running grub2 and it does not have a "grub" command. 2. "grub-install /dev/sdX" is the installation incantation but if you try to run "grub-install /dev/sdXY", you will get a warning/an error about partitions (I cannot remember the exact words). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
