running install through the menu, you get a choice of grub or lilo. Other installers even beyond these two are available on other distros. When I do an install additional to turning the screen reader on; I get to menu, save logs, set priority to low, test disk integrity, choose non-free from repositories and continue on with the installation. If anything happens, I get a record for debian-boot with disk integrity check saved in it. If it doesn't we're golden.
