Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub

switching to the logging tty while running grub-install messages like:

grub-installer : /proc/devices : fopen-failed : no such file or directory is printed to the console. This is with the lucid

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/20100223.2/lucid-alternate-amd64.iso build.

This doesn't seem to prevent a successful install.
