Bug#593648: grub-pc: install fails on RAID1 - a possible workaround

[Michel Briand]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-6
Followup-For: Bug #593648

Hi,

I've experienced the same problem as per this bug.
Debian installer reported an error about grub installation.

Error message told:

/proc/devices: fopen failed: No such file or directory

So I though of mounting /proc.
I did it, ran again grub-install and it worked !

Hope that it actually worked :)

Best regards,
and long live Debian !
