[Dave M]

Public bug reported:

Installing to two new 3TB drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb). installer
works OK up to the point where it installs the GRUB boot loader to
/dev/sda. Then it fails with the message "grub-install /dev/sda failed".
Retry fails again. Continue without boot loader shows no more errors but
system will not boot after installer has finished.
