Public bug reported:
/boot installed to /dev/sdb1, /usr installed to /dev/sda1. Installer
attempted to install grub on /dev/sda
Release: Oneiric Live Disk
Expected grub to be installed where /boot is.
Instead installer attempted to install grub on wrong device and failed with a
"fatal error".
Simple way to workaround (which I will try now) is to but /boot on /dev/sda1.
But the installer (ubiquity) should know better :P
BTW it's an awesome program.
Thanks a bunch
