Public bug reported:
The installation of Precise Pangolin fails at the last step - GRUB
refuses to install itself in the MBR of the external HDD. In Oneiric
Ocelot I tried to work that around by selecting a 512-byte-per-sector
USB flash disk instead to install GRUB to, but in vain, the installation
failed again. The one and only effective workaround was to install the
entire system to that USB flash disk. Interestingly enough, the rest of
the "GRUBless" system on the ext. HDD was fully accessible from there...
