[Bug 1408312] Re: Ubuntu 14.04-fatal error-impossible to install bootloader

[Phillip Susi]

For some reason you have a partition on /dev/sda that starts in sector
36 instead of 2048, which doesn't leave enough room for grub.  You will
either need to move that partition, or install grub to /dev/sdb instead
and make sure your bios is configured to boot from that drive.
