[Bug 1478313] Re: impossible to install grub to the boot disk

[Phillip Susi]

You partitioned /dev/sdf with an ancient dos or windows partitioning
tool that did not leave enough room for grub.  You will need to either
repartition it, or instal grub to another disk.


** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
