Public bug reported:
Installing 20.04 LTS from USB hoping to dual-boot Windows 10. Install
did not recognize that Win 10 was already there, so I installed as
"Something else" and allocated the necessary drives from free space:
/home, /boot, Swap area, and root /. Before install started, told me to
go back a create a 256MB EFI partition which I did.
Install failed well in with the following:
Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed.
This is a fatal error.
