Did you previously go back, *select "Partition disks"* again and go
back again ? If so, some required filesystems may have been unmounted
so that the disks are ready to be partitioned and formatted again, and
this may have caused the error.
- *i did that - but the error occured after following all steps..
i only wend back after the initial error.. it skipped those..
* stept into the grub install phase.. and it failed again
opened a shell and did the mount, bind and install grub.
[all ok]
I solved it using the shell and mount/bind grub-install
and asked a binary-friend.. very helpful
*if that procedure is alike the installer method ?*
mount /dev/sdfX /mnt # X = je root-partitie
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
These should already be mounted on /target.
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
chroot /mnt
grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdf
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Can i add /lib/firmware to the boot-installer-usb
to make them available.. i thought this would work..
The installer root filesystem is a rootfs (kind of tmpfs populated
with the contents of initrd.gz), not the USB drive.
