The text gui offered me MBR, /dev/sda1 (mounted to /boot) and /dev/sda5 
(mounted to /), then I choose mbr and got a red screen, with the very useful 
information "The grub bootloader could not be installed". 

But besides, as now is only /dev/sda, and /dev/hda is no more used, we shoud 
close this issue. No one (except me) will install debian 9 on an IDE drive 
nowadays! 

I wanted just to know, if this is a bug with the "false" naming or unknown. 

Now we know, this is wanted to, so no need to think over again.

Thank you very much for the information and the help!

Best regards

Hans
