Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Debian 5.0.3 businesscard install with unstable/sid.
1. Partition hard drives, Clock/timezone setup, and User/password setup
completed *without* problems. However, upon boot (see below) a _disk check_
(both volumes) was initiated due to a "last mount time" in the future.
Indeed, the system clock is now one hour late (set time by ntp and
clock *not* at GMT). This itself is a minor problem, but the _root
account was disabled_, even though I allowed root logins and set a root
password. My solution:
$ fsck /dev/hdb1
$ reboot
$ fsck /dev/hdc1
$ passwd -u root
$ passwd root
$ ^D
2. *grub2 install failed* during the install process.
(Seems to be an incompatibility between debian-installer
and a changed syntax in the grub package. I do not remember the exact
text, but vt4 showed a command-line option error message.)
In order to boot the system, I had to manually type at the grub prompt:
grub> insmod ext2
grub> set root=(hd1,1)
grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro single
grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-1-686
grub> boot
To fix the system, after fixing the file systems and
the root login (see above), I had to take the following steps:
$ apt-get install os-prober
(even though the installation process had indicated finding the dual boot)
$ update-grub
This, finally, gave me a working, installed system.
Thanks.

He stated he has used the daily image and that's why I reopened the bug.
I'm closing the bug because it looks like he did a mistake somewhere
since this failure looks to be fixed in grub-installer 1.38[1]
