[15:09] <blut> What is the debconf database called during the installation? I tried 'debconf-set grub-installer/bootdev ${primary_disk}' during an early command, however, it is not registered.
[15:09] <blut> I think it might not be in the correct database.
[15:13] <blut> even with 'd-i grub-installer/bootdev string /dev/sde' in somefile and debconf-set-selections somefile the d-i still insists that the device is not specified
[15:13] <blut> What is the debconf database called during the installation?
[15:14] <blut> So that I might do a debconf-dumpdb just to check if it might be a different option
[15:14] <cjwatson> /var/lib/cdebconf/questions.dat
[15:15] <cjwatson> more likely some twisty flow in grub-installer though.  the DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer boot parameter is the usual way to start puzzling this sort of thing out
[15:18] <blut> cjwatson: thank you.
[15:19] <blut> I just restarted the installation to figure it out.
[15:22] <blut> Oh the database is called configdb btw.
[15:28] <cjwatson> Oh, sure, if you mean the internal name.
[15:28] <cjwatson> I'd have just opened the raw file in nano to check though :)
