    once again if you use the sarge installer there's un option to choose witch
    boot loader you wish to install.
    if you can't find one, you can do one of these things:
    - donwload another sarge installer disk (try a daily buid)
    - install lilo and after the installation run :
                                 apt-get install grub
            grub-install
