I believe it is set to the first hard disk, however in some systems
the USB drive is considered the first boot disk.

Thanks,

Thomas Mashos

Title:
  Mythbuntu Fails to Install GRUB Correctly

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  I have two Acer Aspire Revos, which had a previous install of
  Mythbuntu. I installled Mythbunti 12.04, reformatting the / partition,
  but leaving /home. After installation GRUB couldn't find the installed
  kernel. However, if I booted with the usb stick that I used to install
  Mythbuntu inserted it booted OK.

  Note I was booting from the HD, not the USB stick. I am guessing that
  the installer wrote the GRUB info to the USB stick instead of the hard
  drive.

  Other info:

  # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
  #
  # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
  # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
  # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
  #
  # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
  proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
  # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
  UUID=83898400-7d22-4c2d-86ba-2548082ead57 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
  # /home was on /dev/sda3 during installation
  UUID=d769772b-3a15-4726-b045-e27d4fe47e80 /home           ext4    defaults        0       2
  # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
  UUID=459acfe5-6b2e-403f-babf-da8fdfd36cde none            swap    sw              0       0

  In the installer I chose to reformat /dev/sda1 and install Mythbuntu
  there, where the previous installation existed. I kept /dev/sda3 as
  home (ie not reformatted).
