[Bug 1012521] Re: Installer Crashed while trying to install grub on /dev/sdb (usb memory stick which live installation CD)

[Mischa]

BTW: When I read the original bug more carefully it looks like someone is trying to install the boot loader on the very same USB stick as the live CD. This is not what I was trying; I did the following instead:
* one SD card with Live CD
* one empty USB stick to install Ubuntu on.

** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: Expired => Confirmed
