But this does not do 100% the same thing as if grub-installer is run during a normal installation. Running expert mode won't help as it does not let you run the bootloader step before you install the system. If you don't mind fiddling with the installer state you can boot the installer and manually set bootstrap base to the configured state, mount the partitions at the right place and then you should be able to run grub-installer again. The most reliable test is to do a complete reinstall to an empty partition. This would leave your existing installation intact. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.
