Template: grub-installer/with_other_os Type: boolean Default: true # :sl1: _Description: Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record? 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. When your computer boots, you will be able to choose to load one of these operating systems or your new system. Template: grub-installer/only_debian Type: boolean Default: true # :sl1: _Description: Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record? It seems that this new installation is the only operating system on this computer. If so, it should be safe to install the GRUB 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. Template: grub-installer/sataraid Type: boolean Default: true # :sl3: _Description: Install the GRUB boot loader to the Serial ATA RAID disk? 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. It is also assumed that disk is listed as the first hard disk in the boot order defined in the system's BIOS setup. . The GRUB root device is: ${GRUBROOT}. Template: grub-installer/sataraid-error Type: error # :sl3: _Description: Unable to configure GRUB An error occurred while setting up GRUB for your Serial ATA RAID disk. . The GRUB installation has been aborted. Template: grub-installer/multipath Type: boolean Default: true # :sl3: _Description: Install the GRUB boot loader to the multipath device? Installation of GRUB on multipath is experimental. . GRUB is always installed to the master boot record (MBR) of the multipath device. It is also assumed that the WWID of this device is selected as boot device in the system's FibreChannel adapter BIOS. . The GRUB root device is: ${GRUBROOT}. Template: grub-installer/multipath-error Type: error # :sl3: _Description: Unable to configure GRUB An error occurred while setting up GRUB for the multipath device. . The GRUB installation has been aborted. 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. Template: grub-installer/password-again Type: password # :sl2: _Description: Re-enter password to verify: Please enter the same GRUB password again to verify that you have typed it correctly.

Template: grub-installer/grub_not_mature_on_this_platform Type: boolean Default: false # :sl4: _Description: Install GRUB? 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.
