The installer attempts to find the best location for the bootloader. If
the installer environment has been booted from a USB disk, it will avoid
installing grub to it, installing to the target disk instead. That
said, if you're installing to a USB disk, the bootloader will be
installed to it as well.
We considered putting the option to select the bootloader on the
automatic partitioning page, as we had on the advanced partitioning
page, but we ultimately decided against it. The majority of choices in
such a drop down box will result in an unbootable system, and we simply
don't want to put such a complex and risky decision in front of non-
advanced users.
As mentioned, you can still set the bootloader choice by going to the
advanced partitioning page. In a later version of Ubuntu, we'll make it
so that the partitioning recipe from the automatic page gets applied to
the advanced page when you click on the link to the advanced page from
the automatic page (currently written as "X smaller partitions are
hidden. Use the <link>advanced partitioning tool</link> for more
control").
