[Bug 1547316] Re: wont install bootloader

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install grub to /dev/sda, which is partitioned using GPT,
but you are in a bios booting computer.  You either need to add a 1 mb
bios_grub partition to this drive, or choose to install grub to another
drive ( and make sure your bios is set to boot from that drive ).
