[Bug 1522408] [NEW] Installing Ubuntu 5.10 from a flash drive. Have a SSD where root is installed, installed /boot on a regular HDD. This works in 14.04.

[Rodney J. Smith]

Public bug reported:

Not skilled enough to give you details other than I'm trying to install
Ubuntu 15.10 on a SSD. I have root on the SSD and /boot on a HDD. This
works in 14.04, figured it would be the same for 15.10. Install was
going fine until it hit grub-installer. After that it told me it
couldn't install it on that drive. It gave me the option to pick another
but each one I tried it wouldn't proceed.
