re-try, same (d755-5) box using 2020-04-16 daily focal ISO
Install / to sda9 (no format), /home to sda8 (no format). Calamares at
first wanted me to select partitions on /dev/fd0, I changed to sda..
however I noted in Overview it stated
"Install Lubuntu on ext4 system partition /dev/sda9
Set up ext4 partition /dev/sda8 with mount point /home.
Install boot loader on /dev/fd0"
I've done 3 installs before today on this box; no issues with /dev/fd0;
the difference in this install was floppy was inserted in the drive. In
prior tests reported here I ejected floppy after boot or before clicking
install. This time I did not.
When installer got to boot loader step, floppy LED came on & I could
hear the floppy drive write data & skip to next track, and click-click
as it moved between tracks.
Eventually it came to error message
"Boost.Python error in job "bootloader".
Command 'grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --force /dev/fd0' returned
non-zero exit status 1.
Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: warning: File system `fat'
doesn't support embedding. grub-install: error: embedding is not possible, but
this is required for cross-disk install.

(FYI: I looked at floppy in `pcmanfm-qt` and it appears to still have
only 1994 wp files on it)
