I've got the following in my preseed file: d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sdc d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false d-i grub-installer/bootdev string /dev/sdc
We've got two machines intended as Ceph OSD nodes, they've got two 3TB HDDs on the two high-speed SATA ports and a 60GB SSD on a second. Since the SSD is mostly for the OS with the HDDs providing the bulk of the I/O, this is meant the HDDs wound up as sda and sdb with the SSD being called sdc. The BIOS is set to boot sdc first, and the other two disks will be initially unpartitioned so it's important that the boot-loader winds up on sdc. The above seems to do the trick. I rather suspect the docs are a little ambiguous, particularly with regards to the syntax used to specify bootdev which looks like a relic of GRUB-legacy days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012629 Title: grub-installer ignores "bootdev" setting in preseed file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1012629/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
