Public bug reported:

Ubuntu hirsute QA-test install to
- - hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)

New partition table created
Single partition using all of disk setup as sda1 (ext4)

Grub install failed...

duplicate of 1923699 I believe but my attempts to pull that up with
summary failed...

---
ubuntu at ubuntu:/$   mount |grep target
/dev/sda1 on /target type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sdb2 on /target/boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
udev on /target/dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=2430848k,nr_inodes=607712,mode=755,inode64)
---

Problem as last time I believe is the install is to the hard disk (sda1)
but /target/boot/efi is listed as sdb2 (ie. the installation media not
the intended target).

Messages on screen said boot loader was being installed to /dev/sda
