What's the best way to create a raw disk image using debootstrap that can be booted with qemu?
Following up on my previous post: I've figured out some of the steps, but I'm stuck on installing Grub. Do you know how to install grub on a raw device file?

Forgive a silly question, but why do you want to install grub on the image? Are you planning to dd it onto a physical disk?

No, I'm just going to use it as a QEMU image. It'll stay virtual, but it'll need to boot all the same. Unless there's some way to get it to boot without grub?
