The following other operating systems have been detected on this computer: ${OS_LIST} . If all of your operating systems are listed above, then it should be safe to install the boot loader to the master boot record of your first hard drive.

Warning: If the installer failed to detect another operating system that is present on your computer, modifying the master boot record will make that operating system temporarily unbootable, though GRUB can be manually configured later to boot it.

Installation of GRUB on Serial ATA RAID is experimental. . GRUB is always installed to the master boot record (MBR) of the Serial ATA RAID disk.

Template: grub-installer/bootdev Type: string # :sl2: _Description: Device for boot loader installation: You need to make the newly installed system bootable, by installing the GRUB boot loader on a bootable device. The usual way to do this is to install GRUB on the master boot record of your first hard drive. If you prefer, you can install GRUB elsewhere on the drive, or to another drive, or even to a floppy. . The device should be specified as a device in /dev. Below are some examples: - "/dev/sda" will install GRUB to the master boot record of your first hard drive; - "/dev/sda2" will use the second partition of your first hard drive; - "/dev/sdc5" will use the first extended partition of your third hard drive; - "/dev/fd0" will install GRUB to a floppy.

Template: grub-installer/password Type: password # :sl2: _Description: GRUB password: The GRUB boot loader offers many powerful interactive features, which could be used to compromise your system if unauthorized users have access to the machine when it is starting up. To defend against this, you may choose a password which will be required before editing menu entries or entering the GRUB command-line interface. By default, any user will still be able to start any menu entry without entering the password. . If you do not wish to set a GRUB password, leave this field blank.

GRUB 2 is the next generation of GNU GRUB, the boot loader that is commonly used on i386/amd64 PCs. It is now also available for ${ARCH}. . It has interesting new features but is still experimental software for this architecture. If you choose to install it, you should be prepared for breakage, and have an idea on how to recover your system if it becomes unbootable. You're advised not to try this in production environments.

Template: grub-installer/force-efi-extra-removable Type: boolean Default: false # :sl1: _Description: Force GRUB installation to the EFI removable media path? It seems that this computer is configured to boot via EFI, but maybe that configuration will not work for booting from the hard drive. Some EFI firmware implementations do not meet the EFI specification (i.e. they are buggy!) and do not support proper configuration of boot options from system hard drives. . A workaround for this problem is to install an extra copy of the EFI version of the GRUB boot loader to a fallback location, the "removable media path". Almost all EFI systems, no matter how buggy, will boot GRUB that way. . Warning: If the installer failed to detect another operating system that is present on your computer that also depends on this fallback, installing GRUB there will make that operating system temporarily unbootable. GRUB can be manually configured later to boot it if necessary.
