Comment 49 for bug 1396379

You don't have to unplug them. The minimal workaround, and what I always
use, is before the install, unflag the EFI partitions of drives you don't
want to target. Somewhere in this bug report I have my tips on this, and I
also wrote it up here https://askubuntu.com/a/1056079/152287
