Possible bug detecting destination disk for Grub at install



Hi,

I got the following report via private mail from a friend, and -given
I know next to nothing about the installer- I can only forward the
mail to this list. I am quoting his full mail - It is in Spanish, but
if you can understand it, it will surely serve better than my
translation.

I was installing in a D945GCLF2D, which is an Atom N330 system. The
netinstall installer left me with a wrong fstab and
menu.lst. Everything seemed to be fine during the install until I
rebooted the machine, and had to restart with a boot disk. Turns out
that even if everything was in /dev/sda, it ended up writing in
sdb. The memory I used was modified by unetbootin, so the bug might be
with them... [Another friend] had a similar problem with another
install, what I don't know is whether it happened using unetbootin, as
I understand he had got hold of an external CD reader.
