Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for 15.1, but since I don't know I thought I would give it a try.
I'm trying to install 15.1 on a computer on the second hard drive. That is /dev/sdb. In the installation readout for booting, the mbr keeps on coming up as /dev/sdb. But my mbr is esconsced in /dev/sda. I can't find a way to change the installation to boot from the mbr in /dev/sda. Everything I have tried reports to me that the 15.1 installation won't boot. No surprise, it doesn't.
Any ideas how to change this?

Strange, If I understand you are installing to /dev/sdb (with normal partitions) and you have an existing OS on /dev/sda, if os-prober is installed (generally is by default), the installer, in the past, would see and setup grub to provide boot options for your existing OS as well as your install on /dev/sdb. (which did produce some unwanted modificaitons of /dev/sda in the past, setup all OSs to boot) If that is no longer occurring, you can tell grub to use /dev/sdb as the first drive in the system by creating a /boot/grub2/device.map which allows you to tell grup which to use as hd0 and hd1. For example: (hd0) /dev/sdb (hd1) /dev/sda would order the drives so grub uses /dev/sdb as the first drive and /dev/sda as the second.
