Did you use SSD or HDD for the booting disk?
I considered it fairly obvious that I wanted the fastest one (the SSD) for the system disk. I did not make any special preparations for that one (which means the MBR would be intact), but it is entirely possible that I went for the old-style (non-UEFI) option. The MBR removal was on the slightly roomier HDD which I intended to use for /home. - Peter — Peter N. M.
