[Bug 1010412] Re: After install Quantal does not boot without live USB plugged in

[Colin Law]

Setting the boot flag on sda1 and running

sudo grub-install /dev/sda
sudo update-grub

fixed the problem.  Apart that is from the fact that my live USB stick
is not a live USB stick any more, as booting off it just goes to sda to
load the system.  Presumably the installer installed grub to the usb
stick instead of the hard disk.

Title:
  After install Quantal does not boot without live USB plugged in

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After installing Quantal alph 1 from usb stick, with no problems
  reported, using entire hard disk for install, the system will only
  boot if the USB stick is plugged in.  If it is not plugged in it does
  not start booting at all as far as I can see and there is no obvious
  hard disk action.  With the stick plugged in it boots into the system
  installed on the hard disk and not into the live USB.

  After boot I can eject the usb stick and the system continues
  normally.
