Hi,

I am using Buster and start the computer in BIOS mode.
After installing the security updates of grub2 (4 files; 2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u4) 
the computer didn't boot any more and I got the same error message as 
described in bug #984520.

With the help of Super Grub 2.02 I could start the laptop and reinstalled 
old grub2 (4 files; 2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u3). Then it booted as usual.

Afterwards I installed grub-rescue-pc (2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u4) and burned the 
image on CD.

I tried to boot the PC with this CD but it failed with:
mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: not such file or directory 
and several more error messages.

What made me warily was the fact that only sda has been mounted.
On sda grub is not installed on my computer.
I installed it on sdb. So it could not find the boot files and booting failed.

sudo debconf-show grub-pc
