Chapter 4.8.2.2 describes, how to fix a broken grub configuration 
while using the rescue mode of debian-installer.

I read there:

"Now you should have shell access as user root on your root file system 
mounted on /."

This is not correct, the root file system will be mounted into /target.
See this
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch08s07.html
chapter in the installation guide about rescue mode. At the bottom
of the page is mentioned, that:

"The root file system you selected will be mounted on the /target directory."


Patch is attached.


Greetings
Holger
