Bad on me - I didn't realize we now needed an EFI System partition on
ALL installations.

Title:
  Groovy install on non-efi hardware ends with grub install error

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Fairly simple install on non-efi Dell Latitude E6400. Just selected
  "something else" and used an existing partition for /. Another OS is
  already installed next to it (on sda3 I think).

  Installation ended with a grub install warning. Not sure what will
  happen when I reboot but I was offered the opportunity to file this
  bug report so I did.
