[Bug 1314935] Re: install crash - could not make grub

[garypeg]

Oh, just like me to invent a new problem!  By way everything working
fine.   B refers to an external hard drive, with 2 partitions.  One
contains a 32 bit version of 14.04 on which I installed the 64 bit.  The
other is just a data partition.
