Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

Description:    Ubuntu 10.10
Release:        10.10

grub2:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
  Version table:
     1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages

I expected to see the grub menu and be able to boot to Ubuntu Linux

What happened:
I partitioned my system as follows in the LiveCD installer...
/dev/sdc3 is my / partition
/dev/sdc4 is my /boot partition

When the system boots I get the error message "file not found" and land
the grub rescue cli.

ls (hd0,4)/ -> boot directory
ls (hd0,3)/ -> root directory

The prefix environment variable is shown as being incorrect:
prefix=(hd0,3)/boot/grub

In order to fix from rescue mode I've had to do the following:
set prefix=(hd0,4)/grub
set root=(hd0,3)/
insmod linux
normal

>From there I am able to boot linux...but I have not been able to figure
out how to have the prefix environment variable stick. The installer
should get this correct!

Please fix this problem. What other info can I give you to assist in
solving this problem?
