Installation of debian/stretch 32-bit error

[Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Hello,

I tried to install debian 9 on an older computer with an IDE hdd. The 
installation went fine, until the installer wantet to install grub into the 
mbr.

The problem: The installer sees the drive as /dev/sda and not, as it should 
be, as /dev/hda.

Then I tried to install the bootloader using TRK (Trinity Rescue Kit), this 
sees the drive as /dev/hda, but is telling me, that it can not be mounted due 
to false tags.

My last installation on an IDE drive is very long ago, so Imight have missedf 
some changes. And afterwards, I was only using scsi and sata drives, so this 
issue never appeared.

Is this issue known at all?

Best

Hans
