[Bug 1031143] Re: Samsung Chronos 7 700Z5C: installation selects wrong drive for grub

This isn't really a bug; when you have multiple drives you just have to
choose the correct one.

Title:
  Samsung Chronos 7 700Z5C: installation selects wrong drive for grub

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Freshly unpacked Samsung Chronos 7 700Z5C. BIOS condfigured (factory
  default) to disable UEFI.

  This laptop has two hard drives: an 8 GB SSD, viewed as /dev/sdb, and
  a 1 TB SATA drive viewed as /dev/sda.

  When asked to install on the machine all by itself, removing Windows,
  it eats all of /dev/sda, but does not touch /dev/sdb. But it selects
  /dev/sdb as the boot device...

  And the result fails to boot: the laptop would cycle between trying to
  bootstrap the BIOS and reboot again.

  The solution was to select manually that grub should install on
  /dev/sda. The install then works flawlessly.
