[Bug 964331] Re: Ubiquity chooses which drive to install to with no user input

[Jane Atkinson]

Yes, the OS was installed where I wanted it to be, but grub was
installed to the wrong drive.

I think the fact that the install drive was /dev/vda might have made a
difference. That automatically put it  at the end of an alphabetical
list, which could have confused grub-install.

Title:
  Ubiquity chooses which drive to install to with no user input

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I was testing Precise beta 2 live ISO, using the "Install Ubuntu
  alongside" option.

  I have two internals drives, and both of them have other systems on
  them.

  Ubiquity didn't ask me to choose which drive. I got a message to the
  effect that it was installing to /dev/sdb but NO "Are you sure?" It
  just went ahead and started installing. The only way to stop that
  seems to be to reboot.

  I would expect the user to be able to check that everything is OK
  before proceeding.
