Public bug reported:

I was booting from 16.04 server edition.

This OS was made bootable on a 16Gb USB stick by using the make-boot-
disk tool until 14.04.

install was:
* no third party install
* no download (this option hangs for me)
* custom partitions:
... /
... /var
... /usr
... /home
... swap

all was well until it went to install the bootloader, which failed.

prior to that it gave a warning about installing - can't remember,
something to do with UEFI.
