I'm going to go ahead and close this old bug out. The reason it is now 4 years old and has not been fixed is because this report does not adequately describe an actual bug. There is simply no way for the system to know which drive your bios is configured to boot from, so it is up to you to install grub to the correct disk. The Ubiquity installer on the live desktop install cd prompts you to choose the disk. The grub-installer package this bug is filed against is only used by the alternate/server installer, and should have a similar means to select the device. If it does not, then please adjust the subject and description of this bug to indicate that before reopening.
