[Bug 1001577] [NEW] 'grub-install' failing to install grub to USB hard drive.

[BenCooke]

Public bug reported:

Tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 bit desktop using an USB flash
drive via UNETBOOTIN. While installing to a separate USB hard drive, the
grub-install fails to install grub.  Has been tried more than once with
the 32 bit version of the ISO.  I'm pretty confident I could duplicate
it considering I've tried 12.04 a few times now.
