grub-install /dev/hda... /dev/.../disc does not have any corresponding BIOS drive

[gnalle@ruc.dk (Niels L. Ellegaard)]

I tried changing bootloader from lilo to grub, but I am stuck halfway
in the process, and I am slightly afraid of rebooting. (BTW I am using
debian testing). Here is what I did

root:gnalle# apt-get install grub grub-doc

root:gnalle# grub-install /dev/hda
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc does not have any correspondin

root:gnalle# update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub .
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 does not have any correspondi

I tried looking at google, but I could not understand what was the
reason for the errors. I would be grateful for any hint or
enlighteling flame.

If I reboot now, will my lilo still be working or will my system try
to boot from a malfunctional grub? Where should I look to find out?

                   Thanks in advance
