I think there's a misunderstanding. After telling the installer to install on /dev/sdb (and make it bootable), it asks "Can I install grub on boot drive?" (or words to that effect) with no further details. If you say "Yes", it installs onto /dev/sda. Not the drive you just installed on and made bootable.
There is no hint to the user that the way around this is going back a screen to do a semi-automatic grub install to the desired partition. If this is working as intended, feel free to keep this closed. Perhaps a note can be made in the documentation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/719112 Title: Alternate install to non-primary drive results in grub MBR error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/719112/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
