Re: Is it possible to recreate partition table from /var/log/installer data?
**Fixed** Thankyou _so_ much for the pointers :-)
1. mke2fs /dev/sda1
2. mounted /boot
3. reinstalled kernel
4. partitioned the drive (used a VM to validate sizes - debian default)
5. update-grub
6. grub-install /dev/sda
7. reboot - success.
