After POST, the following appears:

It tries to PXE boot because it finds no bootable storage device:
there is no
active partition, or no boot code in the MBR sector of the device
that you
expect to boot. Installing Grub to a partition leaves the MBR
untouched, so it
might not yet contain anything other than partition data. The
partitioner I use
installs MBR code automatically. The one in the installer may have
needed to
have this step explicitly asked for. It can be added post-install
manually. 'man
install-mbr'.
Isn't that because the primary is not mounted to /boot?
Mounting happens well after the point you have reached.
Nothing found for "man install-mbr" but web search yields "How to
Install Grub Onto Your MBR [1] which I will try.
[1] http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/grub-reinstall.htm
Well that won't fly. Booted Debian-Live 8.8.0 amd64 Standard and reached
Step 8 in section 1.1 of [1] which called for "grub-install
--root-directory=/x $drive" but grub-install is not found.
