yes, this was just the second part of my idea. I was just dreaming about a *menu* of partitions to install grub to (just to overcome the present problem) and set the *default* selection on that menu on the /boot device or / device of the system just installed, because for my experience this is the majority of the use cases, so letting the installer propose a sane default would be desiderable. modifying the grub install default, autodetermining where to install and *don't* leaving the final word to the user doing the install is not the correct way, IMHO, to resolve this issue. In addition, it would be nice to do a multiselection in this selection menu, to be able to install grub in the boot sector of mirrored disks when using the software-raid present in linux. this was just my idea.
