Can also reproduce with current Ubuntu Hirsute daily image (beside
Kubuntu).

Title:
  /etc/fstab has an invalid entry to EFI partition of installation
  medium after installation on BIOS/legacy system

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  if I do a test installation of Kubuntu current daily image on my
  machine, the installed system fails to boot because of a wrong entry
  in /etc/fstab:

  # /boot/efi was on /dev/sdd2 during installation
  UUID=8066-B6E7  /boot/efi       vfat    umask=0077      0       1 

  The entry seems to point to the EFI partition of the installation
  medium (which is removed/ejected after installation). Simply removing
  this entry makes the new installed system boot up fine.

  What seems interesting to me is that the machine I'm using and where I
  did the testing doesn't support UEFI at all (BIOS only).

  I started the installer with 'ubiquity -b' to avoid installing GRUB (I
  prefer using GRUB from my main installation).

  Kind regards, Jan
