Title:
  Xubuntu 18.10 daily image install; grub installed to non-system-boot-
  drive

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Testing Xubuntu 18.10 (x86 or 32bit) image...

  After install first boot pulls up a non-Ubuntu version of grub that
  was already on system (including an option for an OS that was replaced
  by Xubuntu 18.10 install), so Xubuntu 18.10 on first boot post-install
  didn't complete.

  This system has more than a single hdd; GRUB was installed to a
  different drive to that which the BIOS treats as the first HDD,
  requiring me to change BIOS to boot a different (non-SATA in this
  case) hdd first before Xubuntu grub appeared.

  There was no question asking me on which drive to install GRUB (stage
  0 or MBR), it guessed wrong.
