[Bug 992379] [NEW] Installer crashed. Created separate /boot partition, could not install, fatal error occured

[Pankaj]

Public bug reported:

I created separate parition /boot, /, /home. While trying to install
ubutnu 12.04 LTS, the installer crashed, (even though I can see a
message in background, installation finished, continue testing or
restart.) Apparently, the bootloader cannot be installed in /boot
partition(250MiB). Tried to install on Windows 7 bootloader, Windows 8
Bootloader, /dev/sda, /(root), but nothing worked. The other operations
available were continue without installing bootloader, or cancel the
installation. I chose to cancel and will try to install this time with
deleteing /boot partition.
