Title:
  install from USB to USB device wipes grub setup on NVME disk

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For a system test I prepared a USB stick with the current focal iso,
  booted from it and attempted an install to another (identical) USB
  disk.

  During partitioning /dev/sdb (the USB disk) was picked as target for the bootloader installation, 
  a 63GB ext4 partition for / and a 1GB swap partition were created. 

  The install went flawless.

  After finishing my testing I removed all USB keys and rebooted to find
  out i am now greeted with a grub input prompt and have no way to boot
  off the internal NVME disk anymore...

  Plugging in the target USB stick that was used to install focal to
  gives me a proper grub menu allowing me to select to boot the NVME
  installation. So i can only boot with plugged in USB now, without it i
  end up at a grub input prompt ...
