Package: debian-installer
Severity: important

Install onto a disk other than /dev/sda (eg, /dev/sdb), but grub still
attempts to do a grub-install to /dev/sda, which fails, because /dev/sda
has no partition table.  Grub should install itself to the same disk that
/boot is on.

It took quite some time, but that's been finally fixed in the above
mentioned version, by prompting where to install grub to.

The first official release featuring this bug fix is the upcoming
jessie alpha 1 installer.

Thanks everyone for your reports.
