install grub bootloader dynamically to multiple disks
I am trying to preseed installing grub dynamically with to two disks with an early_command. I am using IPXE. Here is the relevant part:
d-i partman/early_command string
DISKA=$(realpath /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SuperMicro_SSD_* /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SATA_SSD_*|grep -o '/dev/sd[a-z]'|uniq|sort|head -n1);
DISKB=$(realpath /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SuperMicro_SSD_* /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SATA_SSD_*|grep -o '/dev/sd[a-z]'|uniq|sort|head -n2|tail -1);
if [ "${DISKA}" == "" ]; then DISKA="/dev/sda"; fi;
if [ "${DISKB}" == "" ]; then DISKB="/dev/sdb"; fi;
debconf-set partman-auto/disk "$DISKA $DISKB";
debconf-set partman-auto-raid/recipe "1 2 0 ext4 / ${DISKA}2#${DISKB}2 . 1 2 0 lvm - ${DISKA}4#${DISKB}4 .";
debconf-set grub-installer/bootdev "$DISKA $DISKB";
I tried the above with multiple variations (true, false) of the following and without them as well:
d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false
d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false
I even tried it within the early_command:
debconf-set grub-installer/only_debian false;
debconf-set grub-installer/with_other_os false;
Unfortunately the Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk dialog still showing up with the correct disk as shown below, so I need to confirm and continue. Can I preseed this automatically?
