Title:
  The grub stage of installation should give a reminder of partitions

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu installation phase that asks the user where to install the grub
  loader should give an option to view the partition table, showing the partitions
  listed in the two formats that grub can use.
  I hadn't noted the numbers of my partitions and had to go back to the
  partitioning stage. Even though I made no changes, just looked at what I'd
  previously done, the installation broke down. I seemed to be trapped in a loop,
  going back to accept or cancel the changes to the partition table and then being
  told grub hadn't been installed properly.
  Even if I had noted the numbers while partitioning, these are in the format
  "#5", and I'm not sure how that translates to the /dev/hda0 format grubb accepts.
