I couldn't do anything but reboot. Once there, I noticed that the grub package hasn't been even installed because my old boot loader was still there. <Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.> Despite that, the new installer is very promising. Keep up the good work. Debian is so great.
