(Get the code!)
It's been a long time since I filed this, and I switched to Linux Mint years ago, because of its UI, but I just tested an ubuntu 17.10 DVD and found that the install can find /dev/sda now, even with the external disk plugged in, so as far as I'm concerned, the issue has been solved.
