Problem is still there in 16.04 LTS (pre-release). In my case I have a laptop with one internal disk and I'm installing on an external USB-attached disk (/dev/sda and /dev/sdc respectively).
The result makes no sense to me. If I boot the laptop without the external disk, I end up at a Grub command prompt. I can't boot from the external disk because there's no boot loader on it. Surely I should be able to boot a system from one or the other disk alone. The internal disk is mounted as /boot/efi, and has EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg with the content: search.fs_uuid xxxx root hd2,gpt2 set prefix=($root)'/boot/grub' configfile $prefix/grub.cfg where xxxx is the UUID of the root partition on the external disk. So it's quite deliberately requiring both disks to be present. Let's at least have a warning message that the internal disk will be modified. There is no mention of /dev/sda in the installation, only a warning that /dev/sdc will be changed (see screenshots). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704763 Title: boot loader not installed to target disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/704763/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
