I did a install today using debconf priority medium, and there I am asked by grub-installer for the "Device for boot loader installation", and the two options are "Enter device manually" and "/dev/sda (ata-QEMU_HARDDISK_QM00001)". The selected one is "Enter device manually". This make me believe that if we change the selection of this debconf question, we might solve this issue for a lot of users. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
