Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Encountered this using the Karmic alternate installer (specifically,
netboot via PXE). Same failure mode on both i386 and amd64.
After confirming whether to install GRUB on the MBR, the installer
indicates "Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed. This is a fatal
error."
The log on tty4 shows some "cannot read table of mounted file systems"
warnings, suggesting that grub-install(8) is failing due to a missing
/etc/mtab file (inside the /target chroot).
See the attached screenshots to see what I'm seeing.
** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
