Just installed 18.04.1 to flash drive sdd.

Installer said this:

Dec 27 19:29:45 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '/dev/sdd'
Dec 27 19:29:45 ubuntu grub-installer: info: grub-install does not support --no-floppy
Dec 27 19:29:45 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install --force "/dev/sdd"
Dec 27 19:29:45 ubuntu grub-installer: Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Dec 27 19:30:23 ubuntu grub-installer: Installation finished. No error reported.
Dec 27 19:30:23 ubuntu grub-installer: info: grub-install ran successfully

But again it actually installed to sda's ESP overwriting my main working install's boot on sda drive. ESP on sdd was empty.

From my main working install, once reconfigured grub.cfg to boot main install.
