[Bug 1516267] Re: problem installing grub

[Olivier Coursière]

Then there is a problem in the installer : the partition choosed for
boot loader installation must be marked as "Reserved BIOS boot area",
but it is not possible to create and format such partition with the
installer : the "format" checkbox is disabled for partition type
"Reserved BIOS boot area.
