[Bug 1901245] [NEW] Ubuntu Groovy Gorilla 20.10 installer crashes says fatal error

[aris]

Public bug reported:

I was installing Ubuntu 20.10 on a legacy BIOS computer. The installer
reported a fatal error and exited out. I was installing Ubuntu into a
logical partition. I also selected for grub to the partition itself. I
wanted to use my Focal partition to manager GRUB.

I have tried installing it both online and offline. I have also tried
installing without starting the live session and clicking install from
the first window popup. In all instances the installer crashes and fails
to install.
