Sorry I cannot recall exactly but something about some /dev/sda2/... file when execute shell on mounted /dev/sda2. With installer environment there was no grub-install just grub-installer. Because I do not know what is the difference I had not enough courage to execute. The good new I was able to recover my system with supergrub disk. I was able to boot into my original system with supergrub then update-grub. For sure I run grub-install -f /dev/sda2 and now I am using my good old Debian system. What was strange I got a lot of errors about fake start-stop-daemon and needed to rename start-stop-daemon.REAL to start-stop-daemon for a successful boot. No idea at all what, when, and why created that fake start-stop-daemon script. Hope no more surprise in my system.
