Title:
  grub install fails. installing from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Using today's amd64 daily-live iso. I am booting from a usb drive
  which is showing up as /dev/sda. I am attempting to install to
  /dev/sdb. The install goes fine until the installer tries to install
  grub to /dev/sda which it shouldn't. I then tell it to install to
  /dev/sdb and that fails as well.
