Bug Description
In the Oneiric setup, I chose the default 'whole disk' installation option, then selected /dev/sde as the installation target drive. Later, during installation, grub-install was invoked with /dev/sda, installing the stage1 bootloader to the wrong drive.
I had to fix this incorrect behaviour manually after installation using:
$ sudo mkdir /m
$ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /m
$ sudo mount -obind /dev /m/dev
$ sudo mount -obind /proc /m/proc
$ sudo mount -obind /sys /m/sys
$ sudo chroot /m
# grub-install /dev/sde
# exit
$ sudo umount /m/dev /m/proc /m/sys /m
