@ Erick:
Done. The problem still exists and is likely to trick some new users who are forced to make a decision in the middle of the upgrade.
Maverick upgrade grub-pc popup:
=======
Title: Debconf on ubuntu
Banner: Configuring grub-pc
Checkbox: Continue without installing GRUB? (unchecked)
Button: Help, Forward
I clicked on Help:
You chose not to install GRUB to any devices. If you continue the boot loader may not be properly configured and when your computer next starts up it will use whatever was previously in the boot sector. If there is an earlier version of GRUB 2 in the boot sector, it may be unable to load modules or handle the current configuration file.
If you are already running a different boot loader and want to carry on doing so, or if this is a special environment where you do not need a boot loader, then you should continue anyway. Otherwise you should install GRUB somewhere.
Button: Close
I clicked Forward
it presented three options
/dev/sda (78518MB, ST98823AS)
/dev/sdb (100256 MB, OneTouch_II)
/dev/loop0 (1472MB, ???
I selected /dev/sda and clicked Forward. Grub installed to MBR pointing to partition #256
