[Bug 1065975] Re: Ubuntu install fails if grub installed to /boot

[Steve Langasek]

It's also not a bug. By default, the installer will install grub to the
correct location to make your system bootable. If you override this,
it's assumed that you have special boot requirements and know what
you're doing.

** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
