I've just fallen for the same (I hit enter, assuming I would get the 
only available option, now have error 15).

Felix, is there any situation where postinst should accept grub2 options 
without a boot source? (sorry, I'm not familiar with the postinst/grub2 
settings, so this may be the wrong question) If there isn't, then I 
think OK should select the default (only) option. If there is, then 
could we have two options - the device and 'no device' - and be forced 
to select one before hitting okay?

Agreeing with 'grave' rating. Borking grub is always bad, especially if 
you haven't fixed it before.
