installing ubuntu server from USB, during install the USB stick is
mounted on sda hence the local disks start from sdb. Since grub get's
installed automatically on sda grub's boot code will land on the USB
stick whereas the local HDD's boot config remains untouched.

This bug seems similar to #565189
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/565189 see also
user comments there). It is probably fixed for non-server ubuntu
installations (at least it didn't occur when I tried to install those on
similar hardware) .

p.s. It actually would IMHO be a nice idea, to include such kind of
configuration as an option, e.g. for security reasons, with a local hdd
install requiring this USB stick i.e. for authentication.
