Encountered the same problem using expert mode install with 9.10 Server Edition (ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso).

The following workaround, immediately prior to running the GRUB install step, solved the problem.

  - open shell
  - mkdir /boot
  - mount -t ext2 /dev/sda5 /boot
  - cp /etc/mtab /target/etc/mtab

GRUB installed cleanly and the system rebooted without issue.
