[Bug 1391491] Re: install fails unable to install grub - dual boot under 14.04

[Phillip Susi]

You attempted to install grub to /dev/sda, which apparently has no
partition table and is entirely formatted with ext4.  If your machine
can boot from /dev/sdb instead and that is where you are installing
Ubuntu, then you need to choose to install grub there as well.
