grub-installer for yakkety failed to install to my crucial mx100 ssd with multiple boots

[Lyn Perrine]

To reproduce install the latest 64 bit amd yakkety lubuntu image. Install with manual partitoning using an ext4 filesystem alongside several other ubuntu installations.

I expected this to install the grub bootlaoder after finsihing the installation. Instead it failed to install the grub bootloader. and I got the problem with ubiquitybecause of this. And I am reporting this before having to manually install a bootloader.
