I too can confirm the v0.2b-final hdd install directions not working.
I made several attempts, but grub is the issue and i believe its to do with /dev/pts.

After "mount -o bind /dev linuxcoin/dev/" look in /dev/pts and you will find nothing.
I attempted "mount devpts /dev/pts -t devpts" which populates /dev/pts with "ptmx" and "0" and "1".
Comparing /dev/pts contents from v0.2b i only see "ptmx" and "0".

might i be on to something? I am only guessing on these /dev/pts options, but when actually running dpkg on grub-pc i am only offered to install to /dev/sda1, rather than /dev/sda and /dev/sda1. despite this, choosing to install to /dev/sda1 fails similar to the following.

# update-grub

the above was transcribed, i sure would love to have the vmware tools installed on this, as I plan to run my master linuxcoin from within esx, doing pxe out on a seperate lan!

Where are the pxe directions?

i attempted doing several other items such as apt-get updating before the bugfix or after, none made much difference, its update-grub which is failing to detect my new hard drive i believe.
