Thanks, this is useful information for me. But please could you be more
specific: was this a default, automatic (preseed) or expert-mode
install? Of which version (wheezy, jessie daily build?)) and from what
type of install media (ISO image? mounted as virtual CDROM drive or as
a hard disk?)
Did you get this dialog first:
| Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record?
| <Go Back> <Yes> <No>
or do you only see this:
| Device for boot loader installation:
| [o] Enter device manually
| [ ] /dev/sda (ata-QEMU_HARDDISK_QM00001)
and in case of the latter -- was "Enter device manually" the
pre-selected option (if you were to hit Enter), or was /dev/sda
pre-selected?

There are actually other choices if you were to "Enter device manually"
- you could install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. Or to some
other device that GRUB wasn't able to detect. We need to provide a way
to do that.
Thanks,
