Hi Billie,

You may be suffering from this bug:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2010/04/msg01213.html

Did you see any messages about "mkinitramfs failing" during the 
installation? If you run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", does it ask a few 
questions and then produce output like this?

chris at lap-x201:~/Dropbox/projects/ischool/freestanding-classmate/steps/freestanding$ 
sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
Installation finished. No error reported.
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-...

   No volume groups found

Cheers, Chris.
