Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot:           [o]

Comments/Problems:
the install fails to install grub.

the install produces a system not bootable from the hard drive.


Description of the install:

no network connection was available for the install.
the disk was already properly partitioned. 

the live dvd contains the graphical installer.

the installer copied base system files without error.
then the following sequence occurred:

[newscreen] configure the package manager 
<go back> <continue>

[newscreen] install the grub boot loader on a hard disk

[errorbox] grub installation failed.
  the grub-pc package failed to install into /target/
  without the grub boot loader the installed system will not boot
<go back> <continue>

[errorbox] installation step failed.
  an installation step failed.
  you can try to run the failing item again from the menu or skip it and
  choose something else.
  the failing step is install the grub boot loader on a hard disk.
<go back> <continue>

[newscreen] continue without boot loader 
[errorbox] no boot loader installed.
  no boot loader has been installed.
  either because you choose not to or because one specific architecture
  doesn't support a boot loader yet.
  you will need to boot manually with the /vmlinuz kernel on partition
  /dev/sda10 and root=/dev/sda10 passed as a kernel argument.
<go back> <continue>
