Hi !
Each time I install a Debian using Appendix D.3, I run into a problem
when using grub-install :
Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
The solution is to use the following command before :
cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
Here is the wording :
You may get this error when executing grub-install:
Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
In this case, use the following command to solve this issue:
cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab

Ok, that should be enough to close this bug.
