If you install with a low debconf priority, or use preseeding, you can set it on install. IIRC, Ubuntu even asks if you want to write the bootloader at the default debconf priorities when using the alternative CD.

Debian should work for the common case by default. I shouldn't install Debian on a commodity PC, then have it break on reboot because I forgot to install the bootloader and the installer didn't tell me about that People in special situations (dual booting, odd bootloader setup, etc) can set debconf to prompt on things with a lower priority to ensure the system is set up as desired. -- Luke Faraone;; Debian & Ubuntu Developer; Sugar Labs, Systems lfaraone on irc.[freenode,oftc].net -- http://luke.faraone.cc PGP fprint: 5189 2A7D 16D0 49BB 046B DC77 9732 5DD8 F9FD D506
