Title:
  Jaunty alpha6 installer can only install on the MBR of a device

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  At the end of the installation process (Step 7 of 7) of Jaunty Alpha
  6, when clicking on the Advanced button, the boot loader installation
  option does not leave much of a choice: either you install the boot
  loader on a device or you don't install it.  I don't want to install
  the boot loader on the MBR since this would overwrite the current boot
  loader; in previous versions of ubuntu installations you were allowed
  to specify the full grub device specification, e.g., you could do
  (hd0,4) meaning to install the bootloader on the first sector of
  /dev/sda5...

  This possibility is crucial if you have many linux distribution
  installations and you use one single main grub installation on the MBR
  which then "chainloads" to other grub installations (on the first
  sectors of specific partitions).

  So please, bring back this option!
