Comments/Problems:
During the installation of the grub-bootloader into the MBR of "/dev/sda", the installation hangs for aprox. 25 minutes when "update-grub" is shown.
Here are parts of the log from "/var/log/install/syslog" that shows this behaviour:
After the installation the grub-bootmenu needs some seconds longer to start but it works as expected.
