Hi All,
I've trouble installing the bootloader (both grub and lilo fail). I'm
using the netinstall cd-image to install. My first idea was a problem
with my RAID controller (Adaptec 2020ZCR, running a 4 disc raid 5 array)
but it even fails to install a bootloader to a floppy disc. So I think
it's a general problem, instead of a hardware problem.
It always returns the same error message:
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
The thing I found out is that the new / filesystem is still mounted
under /target, but I guess this is normal while installing...? (never
bothered to look, since it always works out fine).
Any suggestions welcome!
Do you have a seperate partition for /boot? I have seen grub in sarge
fail in that case. Creating a symlink helps it though.
ln -s . /target/boot/boot
Newer versions of grub are a bit smarter in my experience.

Thank you all for your replies. Finally, I've created a grub boot
floppy, chose to not install a bootloader, booted into the new system
and installed & configured grub in the new system. No problem at
all. Maybe I've should have tried this a bit sooner, but I'm soooo
spoiled with the almost-always-smooth debian installer... :)
Thanks!
Dirk
