Bug Description

First install attempt of Ubuntu 15.04 on Quantum Byte PC, which supports UEFI boot only.
15.04 x86-64 install image boots off USB thumb drive without issue (after /EFI/BOOT/BIOSia32.EFI was added to filesystem).
Have tried zeroing the device contents 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=128k' prior to install.
Unable to get past this.
