I'm doing a cross install of beowulf. BIOS is legacy. All goes well
until the end when I run /#: grub-install /dev/sdc .

        Installing for i386-pc platform.
        device node not found
        ...
        Installation finished. No error reported.

I should mention that when I initially ran the command my terminal
(mlterm) crashed (that sometimes happens). So I had to chroot again to
the mount point /mnt/devinst/

It seems that the grub-install cannot see the mbr on /dev/sdc
