During installation, I used the BIOS boot menu to boot from a DVD.  This 
is not the BIOS default, which I had at that time set to boot from sda. 
  Both sda and sdb had a boot sector with grub installed.  The grub menu 
on both had been configured to allow booting from either of the two 
operating systems.  In this case, I had booted straight from the DVD so 
the installation should not have detected any extraneous information.
