Bug#292513: grub-installer: installing grub to multiple disks

From: Matt Taggart <taggart(at)debian.org>
Date: Thu Jul 19 2007 - 20:35:04 EDT


The request in #292513 to be able to install on both disks in a raid1 array can be accomplished with preseeding. Here are the relevant lines from the example preseed (http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/example-preseed.txt)

# To install grub to multiple disks:
#d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,0) (hd1,0) (hd2,0)

There are several methods of preseeding this variable including just setting it on the boot line. More info in the installation-guide (appendix B) at

  http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apb.html.en

It might still be nice if, in the case of doing raid installs, d-i could prompt the user to ask if they wanted to install grub on multiple disks.
