To work out the problem here, could you help us with some more
information please?
When you say that the installer failed to install a bootloader, what
exactly do you mean? Did you see errors reported from the installation
process, or did that seem to complete successfully? Does the system
start up then fail to start Linux? Do you get any bootloader text at
all?
I'm curious what might have changed between 9.3 and 9.4 to cause a
difference here. Very little changed in debian-installer itself that
might explain it.
