[Bug 1286448] Re: The installer crashed when when it tried to install the bootloader

[Thomas C.]

I also run in the issue with trusty-server-daily-20140326-amd64.iso

On the front I see: grub install dummy failed.

on tty4 I see:

grub-installer: info: Installing grub on 'dummy'
grub-installer: info: grub-install does not support --no-floppy
grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install --force
grub-installer: Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
