[Bug 1031143] [NEW] Samsung Chronos 7 700Z5C: installation selects wrong drive for grub

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Freshly unpacked Samsung Chronos 7 700Z5C. BIOS condfigured (factory
default) to disable UEFI.

This laptop has two hard drives: an 8 GB SSD, viewed as /dev/sdb, and a
1 TB SATA drive viewed as /dev/sda.

When asked to install on the machine all by itself, removing Windows, it
eats all of /dev/sda, but does not touch /dev/sdb. But it selects
/dev/sdb as the boot device...

And the result fails to boot: the laptop would cycle between trying to
bootstrap the BIOS and reboot again.

The solution was to select manually that grub should install on
/dev/sda. The install then works flawlessly.
