Fixed it!
It turned out that /dev/sda1 did not have the bootable flag set.
Going into fdisk, setting the bootable flag for the first partition
and then running grub-install and update-grub resulted in a system
that boots.
I think what happened was the following. During installation I
- Did the suggested partitioning and then decided that a 7G /
was too small.
- Manually partitioned to 20G root, 12G swap and remaining as
/home.
At this stage, I must have forgotten to make / bootable and ended
up with a non-booting system.
It would be nice if debian installer detected that there was no
bootable partition and at least warned about it.
