Subject: [DNG] Jessie 1.0.1 misconfigured GRUB
After installing Jessie 1.0.1, I tried to boot to it. I can do it from a
GRUB menu on another disk (Debian Wheezy), but not the Devuan Jessie
disk. I do not use UEFI, and I installed amd64 from ISO on a key.

I get: "error: file `boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found'

I assume the error means GRUB does not know where to find the normal
command. That should be a simple matter of fixing GRUB
configuration. However, no luck.

The problem is that when I to bring up the GRUB menu with a boot, it
takes me to grub rescue> prompt. I want grub> instead, but don't know
how to get it. I tried SHFT, c and C as GRUB loaded, but still did not
get the grub> prompt. I tried # update-grub and # aptitude install
grub2, but that did not change things.

How do I get the grub> prompt instead of grub rescue>?

I don't understand why it seeks i386-pc normal command when I'm running
amd64. Or is this normal?

grub rescue> ls command lists the expected devices, but not vmlinuz etc.
