I don't understand the problem either. Steffen, was the "GRUB install devices" dialog presented to you, or was /dev/sda silently selected? If it was presented to you, was there something misleading about it? In theory, you shouldn't see that dialog untill either you run "upgrade-from-grub-legacy", or when you upgrade the grub-pc package. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
