[Bug 953559] [NEW] 12.04 install failed to install bootloader using btrfs for root file system

[Nspyraishn]

Public bug reported:

When installing Ubuntu 12.04 nightly, I used btrfs for my 50 GB root
filesystem, along with a 4 GB swap partition. The boot files were
contained within the btrfs root ( / ) partition (I didn't create a
separate boot partition), so I'm fairly certain this is a btrfs grub
configuration issue. Good luck :-)
