Public bug reported: I created separate parition /boot, /, /home. While trying to install ubutnu 12.04 LTS, the installer crashed, (even though I can see a message in background, installation finished, continue testing or restart.) Apparently, the bootloader cannot be installed in /boot partition(250MiB). Tried to install on Windows 7 bootloader, Windows 8 Bootloader, /dev/sda, /(root), but nothing worked. The other operations available were continue without installing bootloader, or cancel the installation. I chose to cancel and will try to install this time with deleteing /boot partition.
