I got the text install of edgy in quickly and had it install grub in the mbr. Now I could boot into my main install on /dev/hda1. I then did:
ajlewis2@hopalong:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/hda
Password:
/dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
I finally figured out that I should run it with --recheck.
So this installation of grub with feisty beta alternate installer did something bad, I'd say. I don't know if it was grub or if it is because the drive is being seen as scsi. As I recall that was a problem in edgy while it was being produced and it got fixed. I've been seeing this in feisty all along and assumed it would have been fixed by now.
