[Bug 1786633] Re: Grub failed to install in Ubiquity installer

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install grub to /dev/sda, which is partitioned for UEFI
mode.  If you really want to install Ubuntu to /dev/sdb in bios mode,
you need to install grub to /dev/sdb as well, but I would suggest
installing ubuntu in EFI mode as well.
