[Bug 1798436] [NEW] ppc64el lvm guided install: doesn't create /boot, and complains about it

[Andreas Hasenack]

Public bug reported:

I'm following the "Install (Default + LVM) in Ubuntu Server ppc64el in
Cosmic Daily" iso test and was surprised to be warned that my
partitioning layout didn't include a /boot partition (see screenshot).

I was offered an option to not continue (the default), or ignore it and
continue. If I continue, the installation finishes without further
issues and the vm boots just fine.

Since I'm using the guided partitioning option, I'm expecting the
installer to take care of such things. It should either create the /boot
that it is complaining about, or not complain about it, since it seems
to be working just fine.

When selecting the similar "lvm + encryption" option, I don't get warned
about a missing /boot.
