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.
