There was no partitioning on the disk. I formatted the disk in GParted with no partition scheme at all, just "Unallocated Space".

Grub-installer would still fatal error when OS HDD was defined as drive /sdb/

The ONLY way I could get the installer to complete was to unplug my storage HDD which was getting defined as /sda/ so that the OS HDD was getting defined as /sda/
