Did writing to both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb work or report a failure at this point? Also, when you say installer interface, you mean answering the grub-installer prompt during the installation process, rather than switching to a console and typing commands there, right? > To fix the problem, I used the installer cd to go into recovery mode. > In this mode I was able to write the MBR to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and > the installation now boots normally. > > My hardware is intel 64 bit on an ASUS mobo.
