Hi Mario,

In my scenario, I'm installing mythbuntu on my appletv. The appletv has
its own bootloader, so grub isn't needed. I have worked around it by
commenting out the bootloader configuration in the install scripts so
that the installation completes.

Myself and others who run mythbuntu on their appletvs would like to see
an option to skip the bootloader. Another option would be to have the
installer ask if you would like to finish the installation if the
bootloader config fails (regular ubuntu installs do this).

Thanks for your time,
Derek
