[Bug 1407017] Re: Ubiquity crashed (twice separately) when trying to install GRUB to flash drive

[Hitechcomputergeek]

I had picked "Something Else" when I was in the installer. I had taken a
screenshot, but originally decided not to upload it; I attached it. Note
the first time I tried the install, I picked /dev/sdc for bootloader
installation, but I took the screenshot the second time, when I tried
picking /dev/sdc1 to see if there would be any difference. (There
wasn't.)

Bug description:
  Ubiquity installer first said that the bootloader (which was set to
