[Bug 1341266] [NEW] tried to install on sdb. *buntu wanted to install grub on sda and failed

[Robin Riis]

Public bug reported:

i followed the install as usuall and set it to clear my ssd drive (/dev/sdb) and install xubuntu
the install went fine into the last when it wanted the bootloader grub.. and it tried to install it on my storage disk (/dev/sda)
so i shut it down, booted in to the usb again and the same thing happend..
and then i made it again but with a manual partition and it worked like a charm
so probably not a big deal, just an annoying thing :P
