wrote 21.04 build 21 March to USB stick after checking image with gtkhash. Used 
this LIVE USB to install 21.04 to a second USB stick, sdb. Normal installation 
until near the end when BOOM 
Unable to install grub in dev/sdb (as superuser). Executing 'grub-install 
/dev/sdb' failed. This is a fatal error.  Only these 2 USB drives sda and sdb 
are present, no other drives.

This time I freshly created with gparted a GPT USB and a smaller ext4
partition for root, a larger ext4 partition for /home, and a small EFI
partition flagged as esp,boot. Boot loader marked as sdb. No files
anywhere. Since freshly formatted with Gparted, no formatting during
installation.  sda is the LIVE USB stick.  Choice was 'other'
installation, not a full erase and install.

This prevents me from test driving 21.04 as a full install.
