I'm still hitting this. Though this could be partly blamed on the fact that i'm setting `grub-installer/bootdev ...` dynamically at `partman/early_command`. Fix for me was to add the following to the early_command as well: . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule;\ db_fset grub-installer/bootdev

So I've been doing a lot of work in this area recently. After looking closely through partman-partitioning, and create_new_label forces a gpt partition table if the volume is above 2TB. This makes sense, since disks >2TB tend to have issue with msdos partition tables. Unfortunately my slightly ol

@david-partain I was able to work around the error that I was experiencing by ensuring that there was a valid partition table on /dev/sdb. That makes sense as well. There's really no way to install bootloader to the mbr of /dev/sdb if the mbr doesn't exist because there is no partition table. --
