Package: debian-installer
Version: 20101127
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze

I've installed a "debian-installer"/squeeze_netboot (using unetbootin) on a USB flash drive.

When you get to the point, where the grub2-part asks if I want to write to the MBR it fails. The problem is, that my USB flash drive is /dev/sda and my internal hard disk is /dev/sdb and grub tries to write to /dev/sda.
Using grub-install on another getty works for me...

Best regards,
Manuel Hachtkemper

PS: If you need any debug-output just tell me.
