Several months ago, when I was having problems with a very

My question -- Does anyone know of a detailed (newbie oriented)
writeup on using debootstrap to install a bootable Debian to a
second partition of a drive already containing a complete default
install?

I may be wrong, but that sounds like a good way to drive grub crazy
unless the second installation is renamed.

Why should Grub care any more/less than when you have multiple instances of the identical release installed having used the standard Debian Installer DVD and choosing manual partitioning? I've had as many as six instances of Debian 6.0.5 installed to as many partitions without causing Grub any problems.
