I've just changed the live distro image on usb disk, no change in boot. The
14.04 had no problem then.

If you booted the cd in bios mode instead of efi mode, then indeed, it
would have no problem installing without an EFI system partition.

I still think that this is a bug, as 14.04 had no problem installing
without the EFI partition in manual mode.

[Phillip Susi]

Yes, you need to create an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode.
This is done automatically if you choose to format the drive and install
only Ubuntu, but if you are doing a side by side install, you need to
heed the warning that you should install in bios mode, and if doing a
manual install, you are on your own.

[Bug 1573722] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 grub2 installation problem

[Jaroslav Pekar]

I've found workaround: create EFI System partition at the beginning of
the disk. Then the installer manages to do the job. This is mentioned in
the manual:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_System_Partition
,but as /boot FAT32 partition which is not longer relevant in installer
as it does not allow to create /boot at FAT32.

However I still think this is workaround as 14.04 installer had no
problems with my UEFI and didn't need extra /boot partition (at least I
need not to create it)

[Bug 1573722] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 grub2 installation problem

The UEFI warning: This machine's firmware has started the installer in
UEFI mode but it looks like there may be existing operating systems
already installed using "BIOS compatibility mode". If you continue to
install Debian in UEFI mode, it might be difficult to reboot the machine
into any BIOS-mode operating systems later.

If you wish to install in UEFI mode and don't care about keeping the
ability to boot one of the existing systems, you have the option to
force that here. If you wish to keep the option to boot an existing
operating system, you should choose NOT to force UEFI installation here.
