  Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Beta amd64 (20191012)

  Dell Inspiron 7472 with 2 disks: sata and nvme
  Boot in legacy mode
  System installed on sda

  After installation the system doesn't find a bootable device.
  The same problem occurs if I install Ubuntu on the nvme drive instead.

  If I perform the installation in uefi/no secure boot mode, it boots
  fine.
