I used full set DvD's. But I know I didn't install GRUB because I purposefully skipped the installation step which installs GRUB. If you are wondering why I did this is because the Debian installer wanted to install GRUB in the MBR but my system boots from a ESP and there is no MBR. I have installed a old version of Debian(Squeeze) so I need to install the latest version of GRUB manually.

LEARN ABOUT SUSE
grub-install.unsupported
GRUB-INSTALL(8) FSF GRUB-INSTALL(8)
NAME
grub-install - install GRUB on your drive
SYNOPSIS
grub-install [OPTION] install_device
DESCRIPTION
Install GRUB on your drive.
-h, --help
print this message and exit
-v, --version
print the version information and exit
--root-directory=DIR
install GRUB images under the directory DIR instead of the root directory
--grub-shell=FILE
use FILE as the grub shell
--no-floppy
do not probe any floppy drive
--force-lba
force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy BIOS
--recheck
probe a device map even if it already exists
INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.
grub-install copies GRUB images into the DIR/boot directory specfied by --root-directory, and uses the grub shell to install grub into the
boot sector.
The grub source distribution carries this script to ease the installation of grub as a boot loader. In Suse Linux however, grub installa-
tion is much better handled by Yast; use of this script is generally discouraged and therefore unsupported. Consequently, the script has
been renamed to grub-install.unsupported.
In order to (re-)install grub for the currently running system, simply use Yast. For an installation aiming at a differing system, the
crafting of an appropriate device.map and grub shell script is strongly advised, e.g. "grub --batch --device-map=target-device.map < tar-
get-grub.conf"
