Public bug reported:
I had ubuntu installed on my main hard drive, sda, and wanted to make an
external hard drive have its own ubuntu installation that was bootable.
I plugged it in, and used the live USB to install to it. (20.04.4 LTS
ubuntu desktop)
In ubiquity 20.04.15.17, on the partition manager, I selected something
else, and made the / partition on the external hard drive sdb (different
make and capacity so it was definitely the right hard drive). I also
added a swap partition to it too.
I changed the 'device for boot loader installation' to sdb also and
finished installation.
After installing, the external hard drive was not bootable. I unplugged
it, and tried to boot to my normal ubuntu desktop, which was also now
broken.
