Is it possible, on your first attempt, that before selecting the erase all option you had gone into the "Something Else" option and selected sdb as the boot loader destination? Unfortunately I have not got a spare machine at the moment and don't want to go past the Erase Disk option in case I accidentally erase my working system. When you go onto the page where you select which disc to erase is there nothing about boot loader destination?
