[Bug 1690421] Re: install failed 16.04 and 17.04

[David Prince]

Sorry...My mistake...I guess that was the second or third time I tried the
install...it failed 2 other times with the bootloader error without using
efi mode.  The fourth attempt with 17.04 was successful so maybe the disk
is going bad...but haven't seen any errors about that yet.
