[Bug 1901137] Re: UEFI on Legacy - grub-install fails due to no space left on ESP

[florin]

I just tried the workaround tested by @Matt, to add the toram option on
booting the USB drive, but in my case, it did not work. Maybe "toram"
did not work, don't know how to test thst, but in my installation of
20.10 Ubuntu, I got the same grub intall failure. If it matters, I did
not remove the usb thumb drive. I will attach the messages during the
failure, in my case it seems to try installing EUFI, but my Bios is in
legacy mode.
