GRUB Section in 11.04 Preseed file

[nikhil .]

Hi Guys,

In my company we use the Ubuntu alternate ISO to automate our Ubuntu
deployments on many hundreds of systems. I'm trying to test Ubuntu 11.04
installs now and have gone past several issues in the preseed file but I'm
stuck with an error in GRUB install.

In 11.04 x64 installer, I get a prompt for "Select location for installing
GRUB" and then I enter /dev/sda but this does not work. I have tried
/dev/sda1, /dev/sda3, /dev/sda5 (all are valid partitions). My section in
preseed file is

d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false
d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false
d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string /dev/sda1
 What is strange is that the above section works for the 11.04 32-bit
installer without a problem.

Has anyone seen this? Please help.

thanks,
Nikhil
