Re: New Grub2 verses Debian 9.5

[jmh6]

Hi Dale,

  Thanks for your response. I will recreate it and try to capture what 
grub-install says.

  The response from the attempted Debian 9.5 install occurs at the end of 
the lengthy install and appears to work OK. Just doesn't boot when done.

  It would be helpful to know more details of what 'should' be in the MBR 
boot. I tend to be a low-level guy and so try to understand things from 
that side.

  Thanks

  John
