Title:
  grub installation hang on 0%

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  This should be an easy problem to replicate and fix.  I was installing
  18.04lts server on a system with two identical disks in a raid 1
  config.   When i did the partitioning, i did not set the bootable flag
  on any of the partitions.   (I had in fact reused the partitioning
  from a 14.04 install but since you cannot go directly from 14.04 to
  18.04, i decided to just blow away / and reinstall.)

  The issue is that at the point of partitioning, it should have told me
  that i did not have a bootable partition, rather than letting me get
  most of the way through and then hanging at the start of the grub
  install.

  For all of my other machines, i use the desktop installer with the gui
  and that does not seem to ever ask me to mark a partition as bootable
  so having to do it for the server install was a novel situation.
