[Bug 1292628] Re: 'grub-install --force "(hd0)"' fails on trusty during installation

[William Van Hevelingen]

** Description changed:

- 
  Network/PXE installs of Trusty fail on installing grub.
  
- The error message in syslog is "'grub-install --force "(hd0)"' failed"
+ The error message in syslog is:
+ 
+ Installing grub on '(hd0)'
+ Running chroot /target grub-install --force "(hd0)"
+ Installing for i386-pc platform
+ grub-install: error: disk `hd0' not found
+ error: Running 'grub-install --force ''(hd0)''' failed.
  
  I can install grub manually by chrooting into the target and running
  
  grub-install /dev/sda
  
  Which works without any issues.
