I installed an image server and a golden client, pulled an image using
'getimage', built an NBI using the 'kernel' and 'initrd.img' from the
floppy image generated by 'mkautoinstalldiskette', then booted the
autoinstall client. After autoinstalling and rebooting, Grub fails with
Error 15. I looked at the autoinstall script (attached), and it seems that
it is not configuring the boot loader at all. I am using SystemImager
3.2.3.

# Stop RAID devices before partitioning begins
#
# Q1) Why did they get started in the first place?
# A1) So we can pull a local.cfg file off a root mounted software RAID system.
# They may not be started on your system -- they would only be started if
# you did the stuff in Q3 below.
#
# Q2) Why didn't my local.cfg on my root mounted software RAID work for me
# with the standard kernel flavour?
# A2) The standard kernel flavour uses modules for the software RAID drivers --
# therefore, software RAID is not available at the point in the boot process
# where BOEL needs to read the local.cfg file. They are only pulled over
# when this script is run, which is, of course, only runnable if it was
# pulled over the network using the settings that you would have wanted it
# to get from the local.cfg file, which it couldn't. Right?
#
# Q3) Whatever. So how do I make it work with a local.cfg file on my root
# mounted software RAID?
# A3) Compile an autoinstall kernel with software RAID, and any other drivers
# you might need built in (filesystem, SCSI drivers, etc.).
