Update:

SSD was installed as the only disk (internal) then had 16.04.2 installed, it 
was then moved to an external USB encloser, but then the MacBookPro cant see it 
at boot time, we then tried an install from a USB stick to that same extermal 
SSD (something else option), again MacBookPro cant see it at boot, and it 
screwed the mac's boot with a Grub fail (fixed now)
