Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I was in the process of installing Ubuntu 9.04 to a 16GB SDHC card. The install was to put the Grub boot loader on a 4GB USB thumb drive that has Ubuntu 9.10. The grub install failed, I do not know why. I have tried installing Ubuntu 9.10 on the SDHC card but that fails with portions of the file system missing (eg nothing in the proc folder or incomplete dev folder).

This looks quite likely to be fixed by 9.10 with GRUB 2. Would you mind retesting?
