[Bug 2103345] [NEW] grub fatal error during Regolith installation

[Sylvain Bohrer]

Public bug reported:

grub fatal error when installing linux Regolith 1.6.0 hirsute / focal
"unable to install grub in /dev/sda1
Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed 
This is a fatal error"

The bug report asked me to report it on this site, but this site does
not look like to be a regolith linux support, so I'm sorry if I bother.

I cannot bypass the installation of the grub during this installation process.
I did format before the installation the sda1 of 1GB capacity of my Fat32 GPT efi partition, so I don't see why there is an error.
I don't care about grub, I just want to install Regolith OS, a ubuntu flavour, and I'll configure a systemd later.
I hope that the bug report is well joined to this bug report, Regards.
