Title:
  Kubuntu 19.10  installer selects wrong disk for grub when installed to
  2nd disk

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The system has a HDD (sda) for data and a SSD (sdb) for system. In
  BIOS, SSD is given as first disk but this is not recognized by kernel.
  The system has a legacy BIOS, no EFI.

  At the installation all the options have been activated (full
  installation with updates and HW drivers). The installation was
  requested to use entire SSD (sdb) without LVM.

  When installation is finalizing, an error pops up that installation of
  grub to /dev/sda failed. Installation was requested to be done to
  /dev/sdb, so it is likely that some grub install parameter was wrong.

  I unplugged SATA cable of HDD to let SSD be /dev/sda and installation
  was successful.
