Thanks for an idea. Tried both SGD and Debian Squeeze weekly build DVD-1 'Rescue Mode' with no success: apt-get reported there are no such files on the media. Actually they are in a proper place and sources.list is in order and contains that DVD as a valid repository. > Indeed, installing GRUB in lenny was also problematic, IIRC. The first > time always failed (red screen with error message: "GRUB installation > failed"), and had to retry to get it properly installed :-? Yes, I confirm that. Another way to won was to pre-partition a target drive by LiveCD before an actual install. Have no clue on next step anyway. Tried Squeeze netinstall image on the same VirtualBox, it is not booting even.
