Exactly my point... When installing Ubuntu Gnome, I'm selecting /sdb/ as the HDD to install to. But when installer runs dpkg grub-installer, it fails with a fatal error.
The only way I could get the Ubuntu Gnome installer past this error was to unplug the drive which was getting defined as /sda/.
Then with only one drive plugged in, that one drive was getting defined as /sda/.
When installing Ubuntu Gnome to the drive when defined as /sda/, all packages - including grub-installer - complete successfully.
