Yes, and a couple other files in /var/log/installation.

Careful, now. The next time you run grub-update that will be
obliterated. You should put that into an appropriate file in
/etc/grub.d so it will get added to /boot/grub/grub.cfg by grub-update.

It should be possible to specify where you want the Debian installer to
install grub. It may suggest /dev/sda, as that is a common choice, but
you should be able to edit that. The live CDs provide a different
installer; I have do idea what that does.
