[Bug 1573722] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 grub2 installation problem

[Jaroslav Pekar]

I've found workaround: create EFI System partition at the beginning of
the disk. Then the installer manages to do the job. This is mentioned in
the manual:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_System_Partition
,but as /boot FAT32 partition which is not longer relevant in installer
as it does not allow to create /boot at FAT32.

However I still think this is workaround as 14.04 installer had no
problems with my UEFI and didn't need extra /boot partition (at least I
need not to create it)
