Preseeding Grub



Hello Guys,

I'm installing w/ debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso. I can go through it by hand and everything works okay. But if I try to preseed grub, then after rebooting the mackine, grub comes up with a command line instead of a list of kernels and a timeout before booting the first kernel in the list.

Here's the preseed I've tried:

###############################################################################
#
# Bootloader
#

# Grub is the default boot loader (for x86). If you want lilo installed
# instead, uncomment this:
#d-i grub-installer/skip                boolean true

# This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically to the MBR
# if no other operating system is detected on the machine.
d-i  grub-installer/only_debian         boolean true

# This one makes grub-installer install to the MBR if if finds some other OS
# too, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that other OS.
d-i  grub-installer/with_other_os       boolean true

# Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than the mbr,
# uncomment and edit these lines:
#d-i grub-installer/bootdev             string (hd0,0)
#d-i grub-installer/only_debian         boolean false
#d-i grub-installer/with_other_os       boolean false

###############################################################################

I can't seem to figure out what I've got wrong.  Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Michael Peek
