Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

in edgy the grub installer used to tell me there is another OS installed and offered me a dialog (with no input fields) to install grub to the mbr. in feisty (i386/amd64 edubuntu server) i dont get that dialog, it seems the existig OS isnt detected an dgrub asks me for the install device.

I suspect this may simply be that you mounted the relevant partition in one of your installs but not the other.

i use an identical testing scheme since breezy, it didnt happen in any of the former releases if i used manual patitioning and disabled the use of any of the existing partitions in the partitioner which is always the first install test i do after exactly the same scheme ... it happens for i386 and amd64 here, if you need proof that it wasnt the case like that in edgy i'm willing to do a test install
