I was doing the "install alongside" option, which doesn't give the user any choice as to which drive is used (which is one of the things I don't like about it). That appears to apply to grub installation as well as OS installation.
The machine has two sata drives, /dev/sda (80GB) and /dev/sdb (500GB). /dev/sdb is the drive with my working installations and I'm using the other one for ISO testing. Usually, grub gets installed to /dev/sda
On this occasion, I was installing from a 1GB SD card, which I think would have been /dev/sdc. That's the only one that's removable.
