I completed an install on dc7700

- two systems (noble) exist on drive
- boot install media (lubuntu noble RC)
- select partition (I selected SDA2, ignoring SDA1) for `/` WITHOUT FORMAT
- let it install

(this system is OLD, legacy-BIOS so no ESP; Lubuntu's calamares doesn't create one by default for BIOS machine; iso.qa report at https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/453/builds/300140/testcases/1701/results/)

on reboot; two options appeared in grub.

- SDA1 was in grub & when booted looked untouched
- SDA2 contained new install, file-system system directories all time-stamped mins ago (not hours ago) as expected for new install.. packages I added are present (fortune, clementine etc)..

I COULD NOT RE-CREATE THIS ISSUE..

Only difference between this and prior install could have been I selected second partition (SDA2) where last time I selected SDA1?? but I can't see that as making an difference; could it??

Given I've only experienced this issue twice, and could not re-create.. I'd be happy with marking bug as INCOMPLETE..

I could re-try by installing to SDA1 (same type of install) if you think there is any chance of difference.. but I couldn't re-create issue today (me attempting same type of install on same box)
