No, it does not exist. $ ls /boot/grub/stage2 ls: cannot access /boot/grub/stage2: No such file or directory Looking at #586143 [2] I just want to note that GRUB2 was installed on this system right from the beginning. Thanks, Paul PS: Sorry it took so long. I am using Ext4 and so the old Debian installation CD could not access the content. The system does not support to boot from an USB medium and I did not want to burn another CD medium. Booting a KNOPPIX DVD did not work and I finally used a floppy disk since over five years again and put Super Grub Disk (SGD) on it using the Debian installation CD. ;-) SGD even detected the installed system and booted it! Great! [1] http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586143
