Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

i think the advanced grub installer needs to display a map of the partitoin table in some form (with a 'you are here' next to its installed partition) to help people use it properly.
at the moment you need to know your partition system quite well, it would be nice to say 'i remember installing on the last partition on the drive, this says thats hd0,3 so i can put that in'

Same can be said of most of the summary as well i suppose. '/dev/sda2 will be changed' means nothing to most people. perhaps the summary needs to be a little more graphical?
