Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I specified an alternative device manually (/dev/sda12 which is the root
partition I installed Ubuntu to) for the GRUB boot loader in the
Advanced dialogue, however the installer installed GRUB to /dev/sda.
This may be related in some way to #525029 I reported earlier, but isn't
exactly the same problem.
Booting into the newly-installed Lucid and manually installing with
grub-install worked, however I need to use the --force option. I've attached a
transcript of my shell session for doing that.
EDIT: Despite the warnings, I can then chainload to /dev/sda12 from another
GRUB installation and boot Lucid via its own GRUB with no problems.
