[Bug 1703017] Re: grub install failed

[Phillip Susi]

The installer defaults to installing grub to /dev/sda even if you choose
to put the root elsewhere since that is usually the disk your bios will
boot from.  If you want to configure your bios to boot from another disk
and install grub there, then you have to tell the installer to put grub
there.
