Bug Description
Trying to install grub on a partition in oneiric beta1 installer fails.
Install log windows shows this error:
/usr/bin/
And in the installer there is a error message which is fatal and causes bootloader installation step to fail.
This can be worked around by changing to installer shell by ctrl+alt+F2 then
# chroot /target /bin/bash
# grub-install /dev/sdxy
# update-grub
and then switching back to the installer by ctrl+alt+f1 and selecting "continue without bootloader"
