Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
With the current 20080813 desktop CDs, ubiquity does not create an fstab (/etc/fstab in the installed system just has "#UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM"). This causes grub-installer to fail later on:
grub-installer: Cannot determine root device. Assuming /dev/hda1
grub-installer: This error is probably caused by an invalid /etc/fstab
and thus the booting fails.

The alternate CD works, it creates a proper fstab and grub-installer does its job.
Both installs (deskop and alternate) were done with standard options and "use entire disk".
