Thanks for filing the bug.  Unfortunately it won't be easy to resolve
this on the 11.10 media, but I've committed a fix for 12.04's seeds.
Grub-efi will be seeded on amd64 and added to the pool.

For your 11.10 install, if you are able to at least boot off the pen
drive like that,  you can probably get GRUB for EFI installed actually.
Here's some pseudodirections:

1) Boot your install
2) Check and see which EFI partition got mounted at /boot using the 'mount' command
3) If your HDD's first partition (EFI System Partition) isn't mounted at /boot, mount it manually
4) Install the 'grub-efi' package.  apt-get install grub-efi
5) Run 'grub-install'

That should hopefully install grub to the efi system partition for you.

Bug description:
  As requested by superm1 in the Ubuntu Forums,

  I’m attempting to load MythBuntu 11.10 onto an out of the box HTPC
  system via an .ISO image loaded into a pendrive, configured for
  booting using Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.7.3.

  It all goes well until nearly the end when it stops on "Error – Unable
  to load grub-efi package to /target/ …. without the boot loader …".

  I have reconfigured the pendrive with
  super_grub2_disk_hybrid_1.99b1.iso on it and an option in this program
  identifies other operating systems - Mythbuntu is identified on the
  HDD and I can then enter and set it up as normal.

  However I must use the Grub2 pendrive each time I boot.

  System
  Mobo – ASUS Maximus Genie Z
  Intel Core I5 Processor
  8GB memory
  1 TB HDD
  Haupaugge 2200 TV card
  Nvidia graphics card
  ISO image - mythbuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64
