Title:
  Grub2 doesn't load after installation from Live CD 10.10 "File not
  Found"

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Description:	Ubuntu 10.10
  Release:	10.10

  grub2:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
    Version table:
       1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages

  I expected to see the grub menu and be able to boot to Ubuntu Linux

  What happened:
  I partitioned my system as follows in the LiveCD installer...
  /dev/sdc3 is my / partition
  /dev/sdc4 is my /boot partition

  When the system boots I get the error message "file not found" and
  land the grub rescue cli.

  ls (hd0,4)/ -> boot directory
  ls (hd0,3)/ -> root directory

  The prefix environment variable is shown as being incorrect:
  prefix=(hd0,3)/boot/grub

  In order to fix from rescue mode I've had to do the following:
  set prefix=(hd0,4)/grub
  set root=(hd0,3)/
  insmod linux
  normal

  From there I am able to boot linux...but I have not been able to
  figure out how to have the prefix environment variable stick. The
  installer should get this correct!

  Please fix this problem. What other info can I give you to assist in
  solving this problem?
