[Bug 1682793] Re: can't install grub

[Phillip Susi]

Your primary hard drive ( /dev/sda ) is partitioned with GPT, but you
are booting in BIOS mode.  To install grub to this drive, you need to
create a 1 mb bios_grub partition on it.  Or you can choose to install
grub to /dev/sdb, and make sure that your bios is set to boot from that
drive instead.
