Comment 3 for bug 80683

Hi, my guess now is that it is because i have a S-ATA hard drive. The
partion manager only shows sda<n> partitions, but the next screen
stubbornly offers hd0 to install GRUB which I presume is not for S-ATA
drives?

I am now adventurously trying it with sd0 for grub, and see what
happens, but it would be neat if the installer just knew where to
install GRUB

Cheers!
