and yes no GRUB message appeared at all.
argh had a stressy day so overwrote that hd.img.

anyway i'm not sure i reported to the correct package,
guess it applies to grub. as it was a standard Lenny d-i install.

grub install fails to produce a bootable state. running lilo and
after that grub-install /dev/sda makes those boxes bootable

will reproduce on monday/tuesday.
