[Bug 1574352] Re: Failed during clean installation of ubuntu 16.04 when trying to install the bootloader

[Phillip Susi]

/dev/sda is partitioned using GPT.  To install grub there, you must
create a 1 mb bios_grub partition.  The other option is to choose to
install grub to /dev/sdb and make sure your bios is set to boot from
that drive.

       Status: New => Invalid
