That and so if it *doesn't* boot, you don't find yourself 3 hours (or 3 days) into installing Debian only to have to start over because of some problem with the boot loader. Note that in some installation methods in expert mode, there is a menu item down near the bottom that lets you run the second stage if installation without rebooting, although this is not well tested. -- see shy jo
