@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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012629 Title: grub-installer ignores "bootdev" setting in preseed file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1012629/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
