Comments/Problems:
After presumably installing grub in the MBR and rebooting, the screen
became almost unreadable, and after a few messages the boot process
stopped. I was able to boot into the system using a grub floppy and
then the rest of the installation seem to run OK. After the
installation was finished, I ran grub-install manually and rebooted
from the hard disk. I had the same problem. Then I rebooted from the
grub floppy into my old redHat 7.2. I checked the boot partition,
shared between both systems and the grub configuration file grub.conf
was left unmodified. After I added the new kernel and root partition I
was able to boot into debian from the HD. I tried once again to
grub-install and again my system became unbootable from the HD. Thus,
I finally booted from the floppy into RedHat, grub-install'ed and
verified that both Debian and RedHat remained bootable from the HD. It
worries me that I plan on removing RedHat, but I run the risk of
leaving my machine unbootable from the HD if I try to reinstall
Debian.
