** Description changed:

- I BOOT from live cd
- everything is working until is failed to install grub 
- / = btrfs
- I change the root to ext4 and is working.
+ I boot from live cd latest build
+ Notice that I already choose two separate partition:
+ 1) 2048 MB unformated
+ 2) 50123 MB unformated
+ 
+ I choose to format partition 1) swap and 2) btrfs as root
+ I choose to install grub on sda
+ Everything is Ok all the packages are configured and installed until
+ the step to install grub on sda is failing and ask me to install on other 
partition like sda1... but wont work
+ 
+ I tryed manual to install and give this error:
+ "Your embedding area is unusually small.  core.img won't fit in it.
+ Jun 22 10:16:25 ubuntu grub-installer: .
+ Jun 22 10:16:25 ubuntu grub-installer: /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn:
+ Jun 22 10:16:25 ubuntu grub-installer:  
+ Jun 22 10:16:25 ubuntu grub-installer: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can 
only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are 
UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.
+ Jun 22 10:16:30 ubuntu grub-installer: cannot read `/@/boot/grub/core.img' 
correctly"
+ 
+ I close Ubiquity and reopen on the same live cd and format as ext4 the
+ "/" and no error on grub!
