Title:
  Installing on sdb fails to write grub

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Every year a new Ubuntu version, every year the same annoying
  procedure:

  I'm installing Gnome Ubuntu on sdb:
  - the installer informs me that it failed to write the Grub boot loader to sda (why is it even trying there?)
  - I'm choosing sdb as location to write the boot loader to
  - the installer informs me that it failed to write the Grub boot loader to sdb

  I have to exit the installer and take care of Grub by myself :/.
