"fdisk -l /dev/sda" would be the thing to check now - in any sane system, you would have a /dev/sda1 for boot. You might need to try parted instead if you have a modern GPT disk label.
Ok, 512 MiB
Sectors 512 bytes
Disk label type dos
Identifier 0x00000000

Âwould definitely be possible - although unusual - to have GRUB installed on the sda MBR, a blank or non-used sda1 partition and /boot included in /dev/sda2 but that would be pretty weird. Still technically bootable and functional but weird.
At install in January I got something about installing grub to removable media path.
Now the installer reports itself unable to install grub to sda or sda1 or sda2
When you mount /dev/sda does it have an empty /boot directory (this means that /boot should be sda1) or is there stuff in it (this would mean that /boot is included on the sda2 root)?Â
Mounting /sda2 gives a /boot with the usual sort of stuff in it.
Mounting sda1 shows a directory called EFI with BOOT in it and debian/grubx6464.efi
