Bug#258022: grub-install fails on with a Compaq/HP Smartarray (cciss)

[Finn-Arne Johansen]

Package: grub
Version: 0.94+cvs20040511-1
Severity: normal

Sorry, this bug was wrongly mailed as a follow up to another bug. 
Also note, that I no longer have this machine availible. 
Using sarge-i386-netinst.iso dated June 14. The same applies to
the Sarge-based Debian-edu cd as og June 17. It's also reported as
http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=789

I was asked during the Guadec Conference to forwrd this information to
the HP-people, and so I did.

using the d-i, it fails to install grub. grub-install complains with
  "/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 does not have any corresponding bios drive"
  
changing to the second console and doing
 echo '(hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0' >> /target/boot/grub/device.map

And then try to reinstall grub solves it.
