Not normal and indicates an incorrect grub setup. Try this:
Connect the external drive and boot the machine.
Open a root user shell and enter this command: update-grub
Shut the machine down, disconnect the external drive and see if it will now boot properly.
You should check sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc and choose the correct device to install the Grub into. If the entry stored in the debconf database is wrong, then what you did will only work temporary.
Without knowing which device /dev/sda is on your system, I cannot answer this question.
Thanks, dleidert
so then I have to install it in "sda" drive, it is correct?
You do not want to do this unless you can absolutely guarantee that that device will always be /dev/sda.

If grub-pc is installed and this is entry is left empty, grub will not be updated at all in the MBR during updates/upgrades and this will lead eventually to an unbootable system as described here. Even if the dialog shows /dev/sda grub-pc is been storing the device name(s) in the debconf database as /dev/disc/by-uuid/... for some time now.
