That was what I was looking for. It's what I remember seeing long long
ago during installation or major upgrade.

So I told it not to use /dev/sdb's boot record.

And it decided to try to write to sector 51 on /dev/sdb anyway,
Is it maybe trying to remove the boot stuff on that drive?

I think there's no help for it but to find my screwdriver and physically
remove the disk.

That will take a while.
