Bug Description

Tried to install Ubuntu Zesty Alpha (DVD-Image on USB-disk, created under Ubuntu 15.10 with Startup-Disk creator [or how it is named] ).
Configuration:
AMD64, Started USB-Installation in UEFI-Mode
Disk 1 - SSD (Win7 only, has it's own boot manager there)
Disk 2 - SSD (one new partition for Zesty, one existing for Wiley, GPT Partition table)
Target for Grub was Disk 2 (/deb/sdb)
Disk 3 - HDD

At the moment I'm switching between the systems with chosing the boot-hard-disk at boot. So starting win I chosse Disk 1, starting Linux is Disk 2.
At the end I want to boot Grub from Disk 2 with an entry to Win7 - but for the first i need a running Zesty ;-)

BIOS:
Secure boot is off
Fast boot is off

Can't tell you if it was possible at the end, at the moment I'm still in Installation-Mode, Firefox opened after sending the bug.
Will try to solve it before reboot.

For Information - I'm not a linux-expert, "only" an advanced user (little terminal knowledge, able to compile easy stuff from source *gg*)
