Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was testing usb key to usb key installation on Lucid. Chose the target USB key and erased it. After installation completed, I couldn't boot into my system due to a grub error. Current guess is that ubiquity installed grub on the hard drive instead of the target USB key.
