You can use even installation CD from Debian. Before you get into partition
business,
1) switch to other console (Alt+F2) and there you get a root prompt
no, in this moment /etc/fstab doesn't make any sense, because you are still
just on the ramdisk which Installation CD creates (remember, we are even
before partition of the hard drive, so there may be even Windows on the
hard drive)
2) orient yourself in the partitions with fdisk -l /dev/hda
2) mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
3) chroot /mnt
4) grub-install
