I would like to install ubuntu to smallest hdd in my computer system config via preseed. It works fine but when smaller hdd not /dev/sda(eg /dev/sdb) i have an error "Executing 'grub-install/dev/sda' failed". How can i bind my grub-installer/bootdev with debconf-set partman-auto/disk?



    d-i partman/early_command 
string debconf-set partman-auto/disk "$(echo /dev/`lsblk -rndbo SIZE,NAME,TRAN | grep sata | grep sd* | sort -V | head -n1 | cut -d " " -f2`)"

d-i grub-installer/bootdev (what am i need to type here?)
d-i partman-auto/method string crypto
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-auto-lvm/guided_size string max
d-i partman-auto-lvm/new_vg_name string crypt
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select root-encrypted
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string
root-encrypted ::
512 512 512 ext4
$primary{ } $bootable{ }
method{ format } format{ }
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 }
mountpoint{ /boot }
.
100% 100% 100% linux-swap
$lvmok{ } lv_name{ swap }
in_vg { crypt }
$primary{ }
method{ swap } format{ }
.
10240 51200 -1 ext4
$lvmok{ } lv_name{ root }
in_vg { crypt }
$primary{ }
method{ format } format{ }
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 }
mountpoint{ / }
.
