Comment 42 for bug 8978

I would like to propose the following solution. Ubuntu should in future releases, when it detects that the disk you are installing it on is not the primary disk (the first disk that gets booted off) the installer should either prompt the user for what to do or add an entry to boot ubuntu using the existing grub (edit menu.lst etc.). If this is not a nice solution for the desktop installation,then it should be added to the server and alternative installation disk.

This seems rather trivial.
