Title:
  Install to USB hard drive fails - Grub2 fails to find /boot - Ubuntu
  10.10

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  After installing Ubuntu 10.10 to a USB external hard drive, it fails
  to boot.  If I hold down shift, I get GRUB and a blinking cursor, so
  it found Grub in the MBR but can't find /boot.  This is when
  installing from a USB mem stick.

  I can tell my BIOS to boot from my USB mem stick and that works fine.
  Then in the installer, I select advanced partitioning, create a swap
  and ext4 partition on the external USB hard drive, the bootloader
  target then automatically changes to that same external USB hard
  drive, and installation seems to go fine.  I then tell my BIOS to boot
  from that same external drive, and I get it stopping at GRUB as stated
  above.

  partman and syslog from /var/log/installer/ attached.
