on exe-jessv-2014109,110 and 112. I tried to install them in a vbox vm on a
wheezy-tde13.5.13.2 host, vbox ver. 4.3.18 r96516. In all instances grub
failed to install and grub rescue would only allow the ls and set commands to
be executed, all other commands i tried (cat, linux etc) produced the
error "no such command". Trying "do not install grub" also failed
with the
message "grub missing". Any hints / ideas?
thanks in advance,

You're right.. grub-install is failing in the installer's chroot. Most
likely the chroot commands need updating for newer grub versions. The
rest of the install seems OK.
In the meantime: You will need to boot the installation from another
grub and fix it manually. There is a "Grub rescue menu" entry on the
actual live image which should be able to detect and boot it.
Then in a root terminal (asssuming you want it on mbr):
grub-install /dev/sda
update-grub
Will post back later when it's fixed and a new iso done. Thanks to those
who tested this (yes, Jessie is still "Debian Testing!)
