[Bug 1836613] [NEW] I was installing, and upon installing the boot loader fails to install , crashing the installer. I have this problem with other distros including the RPM-based ones. Usually I can erase the SSD, and retry, it's still highly frustrating.

[Ryan Pochmara]

Public bug reported:

My computer's specs are: Toshiba Satellite P75-A7100 Intel Core i7, 16GB
RAM, 250GB WD SSD and a 120GB PNY SSD in the other port. I attempted to
install via PNY 8GB USB flash drive.
