[Bug 1783800] Re: ubuntu complete installation failed, grub problem (noefi on boot manuallz added)

[Peter Pannek]

Without noefi it got always frozen during grub2 installation because EFI
block couldn't be written.

I have menahwile found a scenario where the installation was successful:

- Notebook BIOS Legacy Enabled
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS USB stick installation, "Install Ubuntu" selected, "e" pressed and noefi added
- at part "Installation Type" I have choosen "Other"
- I have used this HD settings/partitions:
-- new Partition table (delete existing one)
- 1024 MB Ext2, primary, entry point "/boot"
- 4096 MB Swap, logical
- complete remaining MB Ext4, primary, entry point "/"
