............... You must install it to either the parent (sda rather than sda1; MBR/Reserved Sectors) 'OR' use a dedicated /boot partition as described in the forum post below.
When installing Ubuntu in one large btrfs-Partition without an extra boot-partition, take care to keep about 1 Mib space free at the beginning of the disk. When there is not this space, the installer fails at the end when trying to install Grub! ............
And
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ubuntu_support
......long and involve good understanding of btrf. and how to........
That is not an easy normal installation of ext4... I just learn that today after reading many more info on how to btrf?
Can someone confirm the above issue.
That I am too naive to just select the btrf in replacement of ext4,
during the normal installation.
Because if we want to use btrf we need to follow these instructions in
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ubuntu_support
or it is another bug in the 12.04.1 installation programs?

Title:
btrf file system was selected as root partitions (Live USB). produce
the same bug report as Live DVD installation
Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This is second time identical Grub installation EROR and termination
of installation.
Both with Live DVD, which I report in about 1 hour ago.
This time I use Live USB, complete clean booted in to Desktop with no error.
Then I execute installation and choose btrf file system as root
partition or install partition.
I think it is the btrf option that crash the installation.
Since I have reinstall (using Live DVD 12.04.1) to sda12 with ext4
with 100% perfect, test boot into new hard disk installation.
I will reinstall with Live USB with ext4 installation, and report
back.
