Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I am attempting to install Ubuntu Lucid Beta 2 on my desktop, where I
have 2 hard drives installed sda (a junk drive) and sdb. I currently
have Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows XP installed on sdb (also my boot drive in
BIOS) with GRUB. When the partition manager came up in Ubiquity, I
chose to Erase sdb completely and replace the entire drive with a fresh
Ubuntu Lucid partition. This all went as planned (although it was odd
that my sda drive was selected by default when the partition manager
started, instead of sdb, my boot drive). As I finished up everything in
Ubiquity, I checked the "Advanced" button on the final "Ready to
Install" screen only to see that it was set up to install GRUB on sda,
my non-boot, otherwise untouched drive, and not on sdb, where I was
installing Ubuntu.
I expected: Ubuntu would install GRUB on the same drive as the rest of
the installation or on the drive that's marked as my "boot" drive and
leave my sda junk drive alone.
