Bug#486541: grub problem with debian-installer
Dear Frans,
thank you for your quick reply on my report! Sorry for my delayed
answer.
After some more reading I think I understand better now what is
happening. So if the problem is in the domain of grub and not debian
specific, I think it would be reasonable to close the bug.
On the other hand, just one idea: If I understand correctly one can
inform grub about changing harddisk assignment by file device.map. If
so, an according option in the debian-installer would be nice which
offers to create such a file if MBR things are installed not on the
first but another harddisk.
Best regards
Manfred
