Bug Description

Because I already have Fedora installed on my computer, I have chosen partition of Ubuntu to contain boot loader. I expected to boot ubuntu by chain loading from Fedora. I want my bootloader untouched on disk loading. Had my disk custom assigned, partitions kept.

However, during installation, grub installation failed. I selected continue without grub installation. But that failed whole installation.

Expected warning to show, telling I have to fix bootloading manually or retry. It might also stop me from choosing partition as bootloader, if GPT cannot support it.
