Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Installing Debian 8.1.0 AMD64 on second hard drive and putting grub on that drive
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
To fix required boot to rescue mode, get shell, install grub
* What was the outcome of this action?
That worked
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The system information below relates to the same hardware, but to an earlier
(Wheezy) installation on the first disk - this is the running installation as
I have not migrated to Jessie yet.
