Title:
  In UEFI mode, installer crashes if OS is installed on 2nd drive and
  grub fails to install on 1rst drive

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Trusty Desktop 20140406 amd64

  TEST CASE:
  0. Requirement: Create 2 empty disk drives and boot in UEFI mode
  1. Boot from an installation media
  2. Proceed to the partitioner and select 'Entire Disk' and continue
  3. To the question on which disk to install Ubuntu, select '/dev/sdb'
  4. Proceed with the rest of the installation

  ACTUAL RESULT
  The installer crashes when it tries to install grub on /dev/sda

  EXPECTED RESULT
  Same result than in BIOS mode. If installation of grub fails, there is a dialog explaining what failed and proposes to install grub on another disk.
