  Isadora install to /dev/sdb1 gives wrong grub setup

Bug description:
  During install of Isadora (LXDE 32 bit download .iso image) it asks you if it should create a boot loader on /dev/sda
  I said NO. I have a boot loader there already, and also a dual boot setup that I would have a hard time recreating.

  Isadora then creates a /boot/grub/grub.cfg file on /dev/sdb1 that refers to /dev/sda1 and also has UUID's in the menu entry
  that do not exist on my machine.

  When I reboot into Ubuntu and run sudo update-grub, the new grub.cfg
  on /dev/sda1 picks up the linux Mint 9 entries, but it copies the info
  from the file that Isadora made, and hence the menus are wrong.

  When I try to boot isadora, it exits to busybox saying it cannot find
  the disk with the UUID isadora has created.

  I have to manually edit the grub.cfg file to fill in the correct
  UUID's.
