[Bug 916077] Re: grub-install - /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).

[Colin Watson]

Bug 986797 is unrelated to this bug.  This appears to have something to
do with LVM, and is probably ubiquity's fault for failing to select an
appropriate default GRUB installation target in that case; but since LVM
isn't yet supported in ubiquity as such, this isn't a high priority.
