[Bug 1066173] [NEW] whole disk install puts grub in wrong place

[Len Ovens]

Public bug reported:

For test case "Install (entire disk) in Ubuntu Studio DVD i386 for
Quantal Final " Oct12.1. When installing onto a second drive (removable
in this case) The boot information goes on the internal drive instead of
the install drive. When the second drive is removed the internal drive
can no longer be booted because grub is looking for the external drive.

One of two things should happen (in my opinion):

a) grub should be installed on the same drive as the new install.

b) when choosing drive to install to, a place to select where grub is to
be installed should be provided.

and now to go repair grub on my machine...
