Title:
  grub installed to wrong location when trying along side then whole
  disk

Status in “partman-auto” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Initially had windows installed with all 4 primary partitions used.
  Tried to install along side, which of course, failed.  Then tried to
  install using whole disk.  It appears that the attempt to install
  along side decided that grub needed to be installed to the existing
  windows boot fat32 partition, and after installing using the whole
  disk, grub failed to install because that partition no longer existed.
  The initial choice of where to install grub should have been discarded
  and /dev/sda chosen instead.
