I want to install Debian 7 remotely. I've followed this tutorial: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Remote
How can I execute Step 8?
I found the command update-grub
but I don't know where to write the config.

The location of bootloader configuration files will depend both on the (presumably non-Debian) Linux distribution of the target machine and on the actual bootloader being used. On x86(-64) machines, Grub and LILO are the most popular bootloaders, but on armel/armhf and embedded devices the bootloader might be u-boot, coreboot, redpill or something else.
For Grub, /boot
might contain the source configuration files directly, or that partition may only contain compiled configuration generated from source configuration in /etc/
or /etc/grub.d/
.
For embedded bootloaders, the configuration file might be plain text in /boot/
, could be a compiled binary configuration file in a separate EEPROM or flash chip, or could even be hardcoded directly into the bootloader executable and stored in the first raw sectors of the system disk (not as part of a partition).
