No, it does not exist.

        $ ls /boot/grub/stage2
        ls: cannot access /boot/grub/stage2: No such file or directory

Looking at #586143 [2] I just want to note that GRUB2 was installed on
this system right from the beginning.


Thanks,

Paul


PS: Sorry it took so long. I am using Ext4 and so the old Debian
installation CD could not access the content. The system does not
support to boot from an USB medium and I did not want to burn another CD
medium. Booting a KNOPPIX DVD did not work and I finally used a floppy
disk since over five years again and put Super Grub Disk (SGD) on it
using the Debian installation CD. ;-) SGD even detected the installed
system and booted it! Great!
