As additional confirmation that the installer was trying to write the
MBR to the install media, I was successful in installing 20.10 from the
same install media on the same hardware by booting the install media to
ram, as described here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/829917/can-i-boot-a-live-usb-fully-to-
ram-allowing-me-to-remove-the-disk.

I then removed the install media once live, and ran the install, and all
installation went without a hitch, and I am now commenting from a fresh,
new 20.10 install.

In my case, install media is a removable SD card, if that's pertinent.
