- I have type (hd0,0), but /dev/hda1 also should work. This will install Grub in bootsector of /dev/hda1.
But remember, in this case you must have another boot manager installed. I have Xosl. Or maybe you can make a floppy for booting Ubuntu in /dev/hda1.

The system should work installed in any partition, with Grub in MBR or in bootsector. But I only could boot Ubuntu Feisty when it was installed on /dev/hda as primary partition and Grub installed entirely in bootsector of the same partition.
I don't understand why. This is not the normal behavior.

Seems that have a new kernel in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/2.6.20-15.27.
Maybe, we can wait for an version 7.04-1 with this new kernel ? There are so many Ubuntu users and others trying Ubuntu who can't install Feisty.
