An updated exegnu iso is now posted with a populated /boot/grub/ i386-pc 
.. this should sort any grub issues.. hope this works for anyone affected!

BTW the exegnu images are not "official TDE" however the trinity site 
links "distros" which use TDE.

Previously exegnu was standard Debian Stable + TDE but is now 
Devuan-based (essentially Debian Stable without systemd)
