[Bug 889143] Re: Ubiquity's grub-install invocation always runs on /dev/sda

[Delan Azabani]

** Attachment added: "grub-install /dev/sda"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/889143/+attachment/2593315/+files/2.png

** Description changed:

  In the Oneiric setup, I chose the default 'whole disk' installation
  option, then selected /dev/sde as the installation target drive. Later,
  during installation, grub-install was invoked with /dev/sda, installing
  the stage1 bootloader to the wrong drive.
+ 
+ I had to fix this incorrect behaviour manually after installation using:
+ 
+ $ sudo mkdir /m
+ $ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /m
+ $ sudo mount -obind /dev /m/dev
+ $ sudo mount -obind /proc /m/proc
+ $ sudo mount -obind /sys /m/sys
+ $ sudo chroot /m
+ # grub-install /dev/sde
+ # exit
+ $ sudo umount /m/dev /m/proc /m/sys /m
