[Bug 1778435] Re: trying to reinstall ubuntu with a much larger M.2 SSD... but installer insisted on small eMMC...crashed when trying to instal system files on eMMC at mount point "/" and the M.2 at mount point /home. boot loader was on eMMC (as before)

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios
mode, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition
to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use
entire disk" guided install option.
