Looks like a regression in 1.78ubuntu1. /sys is no longer bind-mounted.

Server Installer fails at 'grub install dummy' in EFI mode

Bug description:
Release: Ubuntu 12.10 Server amd64 Edition, September 21st daily build
grub2-common_2.00-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb
grub-efi-amd64-bin amd64 2.00-5ubuntu3 [746 kB]
grub-efi-amd64 amd64 2.00-5ubuntu3
grub-efi amd64 2.00-5ubuntu3
grub-installer 1.78ubuntu2
The 12.10 server installer crashes at what appears to be the grub-
install phase on PowerEdge hardware running in EFI mode. This is
seen on both 11G and 12G systems.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Kick off an installation of 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10 server in EFI mode
2) Follow all the installation steps and prompts.
Actual Results:
At the grub-install phase, the system attempts to install the
bootloader, but, fails to do so claiming that "grub install dummy" has
failed.
Expected Results:
grub installation completes along with the rest of the server OS.
Non-EFI installations work fine.
