Bug Description
Hello,
if I do a test installation of Kubuntu current daily image on my machine, the installed system fails to boot because of a wrong entry in /etc/fstab:
# /boot/efi was on /dev/sdd2 during installation
UUID=8066-B6E7 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1
The entry seems to point to the EFI partition of the installation medium (which is removed/ejected after installation). Simply removing this entry makes the new installed system boot up fine.
What seems interesting to me is that the machine I'm using and where I did the testing doesn't support UEFI at all (BIOS only).
I started the installer with 'ubiquity -b' to avoid installing GRUB (I prefer using GRUB from my main installation).
Kind regards, Jan
