Title:
  Installer fails to install grub on SCSI based system

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  This is Hard Heron, Kubuntu, LiveDVD, release version.

  When booting from a DVD or live DVD, the DVD drive is /dev/sda.  When
  booting normally the hard drive is /dev/sda.  As a result, attempting
  to install, I theorize, attempts to install grub to the DVD...which
  fails.

  Checking /boot/grub/menu.lst reveals that the system is expecting to
  boot from (hd1,6), where (hd0,6) would be proper.

  Debian installed LILO and booted properly.  When I hand edited the
  menu.lst file and installed grub in the mbr of the hard disk, then
  Debian booted properly.  Unfortunately, about that time my DVD drive
  drawer got stuck out, so I haven't investigated further.  I *THINK* I
  could now boot from Ubuntu, but I'm not certain.  (I have different
  distributions in different partitions.)  If more information is
  needed, I may be able to investigate further after Tuesday, when a
  repairman is expected.  (It's just are DVD replacement...but currently
  I'm under warranty, so... [new system, so new install].)
