I have the problem that the installer can't create the GRUB MBR record on a
Cirrus7 Computer:

Probably because the Samsung m2 850 EVO SSD with 120 GB capacity needs a GPT
partition. But neither the graphical nor the text based installer do give me
an option to do anything else than writing a GRUP menu into the MBR, which
doesn't seem to work here.
However, avoiding to use the SSD I could successfully install Trisquel on the
additional 500 GB HDD but unfortunately it is not recognised in the bios. I
suspect this is the reason why I can only boot this installation without any
further problems if I use some handwritten GRUB commands.
I don't actually want to use the HDD installation since the better choice for
the system would be the faster SSD. So only if there is absolutely no other
way to use the system with Trisquel I would go for the HDD installation.
So my two questions are:
1) Is there a way to create a proper boot menu for the SDD installation?
(Everything other than the creation of the GRUB menu went well, if I can
trust the installer.)
2) If the first option fails: How can I get a proper boot menu for the HDD?
(I can't expect the user to run several boot commands in order to get the
system up and running.)
