[Bug 1299099] [NEW] Installer crash after setting a boot partition (while installing)

[David Edmundson]

Public bug reported:

This is a MacBook Pro 7.1 machine. Installer shows one partition as
"biosgrub" so I left it as such. I installed the bootloader to /dev/sda,
then it copied all the files and crashed while setting up the
bootloader.
