Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
When installing 10.10 beta 1 from a USB pen drive (created using startup disk creator in 10.04) and selecting any of the automatic partition setup modes, the MBR/Boot Sector is written to the USB pen drive (detected as sda) and not the internal HDD (sdb). If the partitions are manually created and the boot sector location set to the HDD then it is written correctly.
Ubiquity version - 2.3.13 (as installed in the beta ISO).
