[Bug 1922105] Re: Installer crashed (grub not installed) on bios/mbr based system .. no efi partition

[Derk Willem te Bokkel]

So why does ubiquity not recognize that it is installing on an mbr
partitioned disk? and adjust accordingly.. seems rather wrong that the
install all fails  at the install of grub .. especially as everything
else is ok..

also stealing 500 MB for an efi partition when it is not needed is
rather a waste
