Title:
  Ubuntu server fails to install if boot is not on sda1

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've already sent crash report from installer, but since I'm not quite
  sure how it's handled, might as well follow up with this.

  I've been tinkering with ubuntu server and some old HW. Long story short, since I'm not used to CLI/text like install and missed that installer reverse order of HDDs I ended up with disk setup where /boot, /boot/efi along with LVM handling root were on /sdb
  To be precise:
  sdb:
  /boot
  /boot/efi
  /lvm/root

  sda:
  /lvm/root

  This failed at some point with message refering boot/grub could not be
  found on /dev/sda1:

  "could not get path to dev from kname sda1"

  If I set up everything on sda it works fine.
