Not too sure about the "union part"??
Even without the union part though there is no "/boot/grub/device.map" in the live cd environments file system.It wont exist until after grub is actually installed it seems.
Well it appears in my Mandriva 2008 liveCD file system? I would have thought it would have to work out the relationship between the hardware & the device names allocated before installation? Unless 'buntu doesn't bother doing that until you actually choose to install?

/union/ is an overarching directory created by unionfs that allows the normal / directory to be combined with the memory resident tmpfs file system.

Maybe 'buntu uses aufs instead of unionfs?
