Bug Description
Precise Desktop Beta2 amd64+mac
In the manual partitioner, the list of partition types doesn't include 'biosgrub' and installation cannot continue on a disk without an existing partition of this type.
Ideally the partitioner will create it automatically if it doesn't already exist.

The manual partitioner isn't going to create it automatically, but it's
certainly a bug that you can't create it manually.
