The only other device is the USB drive I booted from. I've not had a chance yet 
to really look at what's going on, but it looks as if it's not waiting long 
enough as it reports no installable devices. If I then check when it exits to 
the shell I can see the drive is there and re-running the script then means it 
does find it (the script then fails for other reasons to do with the failed 
run).

It will sometimes install, so it looks as if the wait is nearly long enough.

I'm using an ATP AF512SSGH if that makes a difference.

BTW the change I need to make to the grub file is partially related - the boot 
device is sda and the internal (install target) is sdb. Grub gets configured to 
boot from sdb but the device is sda on a clean boot.
