Public bug reported:
To reproduce have sda as a 2tb hard disk with my main home partition and one
other install on it of 14.10. Then I have my ssd /dev/sdb which is where the
grun2 is installed and with the / partition and a manually install other
partition of vivid on it that works. Then boot the lubuntu amd64 live iso for
march 11th and tell it to use all of /dev/sdc a 250 gb hard disk I got from a
lug member to test installs on. Grub will try to install to sda and fail and
then bring up a menu to select which device to install to. grub2:
Installed: (none)
