Following up on my previous post: I've figured out some of the steps,

raw device file?
You may be able to get grub-install to work using the --grub-mkdevicemap
option and a dummied up device map that points to the disk image.
Ah, this sounds good -- can you give me any more detail on this? I'm
not finding anything particularly good with my own searches. I've read
the wiki page:
http://wiki.debian.org/Grub/grub-mkdevicemap.manpage
But I'm not quite sure where to go next. You see the script I'm working
on; can you propose a next step?
If it helps, I can copy /boot/grub/device.map from a working/bootable
QEMU image. But I don't know what to do with it. Can you offer me any
suggestions?
echo "Creating 1GB file of zeros in $1.raw"
dd if=/dev/zero of=$1.raw bs=1024 count=1048576
But wouldn't it be easier to stop here and run:
qemu -cdrom mini.iso -hda $1.raw -boot c
(Downloading an appropriate d-i mini.iso or other iso first.)
Heh, what fun would that be!
