[Bug 1584545] [NEW] clean install of xenial alongside existing distros fails because of uefi

[Kim Tyler]

Public bug reported:

disk partitioning is non-standard (sda8 is flagged as bios_grub) with
uefi bios.

I probably need to save all partitions and re-partition and reformat
disk, then allow clean install of uefi boot
