[Bug 989503] [NEW] Ubuntu installer installed bootloader to the USB stick that i was installing from

[goodeye]

Public bug reported:

I copied Ubuntu install CD to USB flash disk, and installed Ubuntu from that.
After installation, I made reboot and bootloader initialized but every selection tells that partition doesn't exist.

Sticking that USB flash disk back in to install again(hopefully repairs) and bootloader comes.
Bootloader is installed on USB flash disk, and it works wonders...
