Title:
  Installer crashed on trying to install to external disk

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installing onto an external disk (which will eventually replace the
  internal one).

  Couldn't write the boot partition (sorry, I failed to write down the
  exact message).

  Warns me that I may not be able to boot my machine. Haven't yet
  checked.
