Title:
  Bootloader Install Failed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I used the advanced partition tool thingie to make several partitions,
  one for /, one for /boot, one for /home and one for  swap space. I
  clicked install, and the installation ran fine, until the very end
  when I got a popup telling me that the Bootloader wasn't installed and
  that it was a fatal error. Something "GRUB" I think.
