[Bug 1885414] Re: on flavours ubiquity: bootloader failed on /dev/vda

Ok. Also, just to be extra clear, "Enable EFI" was NOT selected in the
VirtualBox settings, and the host machine is also with old-style BIOS
(no UEFI at all).

#1: Do I have to create two small partitions, (1) EFI system partition,
and (2) Reserved BIOS boot area... or just one, EFI system partition?

#2: From the link you provided, point #11 says, "Full drive space is
allocated for installation"

So does manual partitioning (meaning not allocating the full drive
space) blocked / not allowed anymore with Ubuntu / Ubuntu MATE 20.10
onward?

Thanks alot.
