Title:
  groovy install alongside failed to install boot loader

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Xubuntu groovy/20.10 qa-test install on 
  hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
  install was "install alongside" (existing was a prior ubuntu-studio qa-test install)
  drive is 80gb internal, I moved slider so 5/8ths was studio, 3/8ths for new xubuntu

  ** What happened
  During install a message appeared

  "Sorry, an error occurred and it was not possible to install the
  bootloader at the specified location."

  I selected SDA again & error again repeated. No other option (sda1
  etc) seemed to apply so I aborted install & reported error (it failed
  to report anything, but `ubuntu-bug` is having issues so this was
  filed on another box; and I'll apport-collect shortly on actual box)

  ** Expected outcome
  It wouldn't ask the question, or install to /dev/sda  (there is only a single drive to install to)

  Further Notes: If ubiquity log is larger than just one install, I attempted first time with an external drive connected, but was unable to complete test as it wouldn't let me select internal drive. I exited `ubiquity` and tried ejecting drive, when that failed I just pulled power cable of external drive, made a few checks & it appeared removed & no issues on system, so I restarted `ubiquity` using desktop icon. This run only appeared to see internal drive so I didn't expect issues.
