Bug#806164: installation-reports: jessie install on dell xps 13 9350 (grub-installer issues)

I think you'd need to wait for a weekly, which means monday; that's because
grub-installer is not included in netboot images, so fetched over the
network. You might find a way by setting the right boot parameters, but that
might break other bits.

I haven't used simple-cdd yet, but if that might help, I have a debian-cd
setup locally, and baring my (limited) upload bandwidth I could probably
build and push an image for you to test, somewhen today. Would that work for
you?

Looking at debian-stretch-DI-alpha4-amd64-netinst.iso's file list, it
definitely contains grub-installer, so the tricky part I've mentioned in my
first paragraph should disappear with a similar image.

Mraw,
