Bug#696615: grub2: no possibility to install from usb media

Dear Maintainer,

Installing from usb with mini.iso in expert mode and normal user mode. Grub2
wants to install in /dev/sda, which is the MBR of the install media and luckily
fails. (Last year it did even overwrite the install media).
There is no option to select any different installation location for grub which
leads to non-bootable systems for many users.

I had to chroot into my fresh installation to install grub2.

Sorry, this did always happen the last months with several mini.iso on several
systems but I did not get to report it.

Please have the install choose the right MBR (e.g. the HD you installed the
system on) and have an option to choose a different location for expert modus
and for normal user modus if installation fails.

Thanks
