[Bug 1128689] Re: Grub2 failed to install on /dev/sda during Ubuntu Installation

[D3m0n1q_733rz]

I've come to find that it's because Ubuntu doesn't include the files and
work-around necessary to allow installation to btrfs filesystem.  I
recommend including a check/prompt to ensure that 1 MB exists at the
beginning of the drive to allow the use of btrfs as the root file system
as not having it results in an installation failure of Grub2.
