[Bug 1559373] [NEW] Grub install always crashes during installation.

[Julius Downes]

Public bug reported:

Grub always crashes towards end of install procedure.  Installer makes
me select somewhere to install it and I think this is the problem.  If I
select the sda it fails, if I select sda2 (my efi partition) it also
fails.  I'm booting from UEFI USB and trying to install on a laptop
alongside Windows.
