Title:
  ESP on install medium automatically configured as ESP for install,
  failing install

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug report is a duplicated of bug #1902269 performed with Ubuntu 20.10.
  Basically installation fail when the installer doesn't find an EFI (ESR) partition on computers with legacy BIOS.

  This time I have used Ubuntu 21.04 also to test the new version of
  Ubiquity package (21.04.15) which, as reported here:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1893964/comments/22
  should have fixed the issue.

  Unfortunately I'm still experiencing the same problem.

  #### Partition details:
  - msdos partition table
  - 4 primary partitions, all ext4
