Public bug reported:
I tried installing Ubuntu on my dad's laptop, but the installer failed to
install GRUB.
I noticed it was trying to install GRUB on /dev/sda even though the EFI
partition and the Ubuntu root partition were both on /dev/sdb
I suggest that instead of hard-coding the Ubuntu installer to install on
/dev/sda, the Ubuntu installer should dynamically detect the drive which has
the EFI partition and install GRUB on that drive.
