  During a side by side installation with an existing Ubuntu Precise on the system, with the manual partitioner from a usb stick, the selected device for boot loader installation was set to /dev/sdb by default (installation media)
  If the user doesn't pay attention to the selected value, the end of the installation will fail.
  
  When grub fails to install on /dev/sdb, it shows a dialog to select
  another device. I choose /dev/sda, it installs without a failure but I'm
  dropped to a grub prompt on reboot.
