[Bug 1672548] Re: fresh install fails - grub boot loader failed to install

[kelargo]

I wanted to use the entire disk.  I also wanted to control the different
partition sizes, away from default values. That part is not very
friendly. I got the install installed and working, using bios mode
install.
