Public bug reported:
The installer for Ubuntu Server 20.04.4 has no ability to designate an
existing EFI system paretition as the boot partition.
The volume is already partitioned and has a valid 512MB EFI system
partition formatted as FAT32 and with type code ef00 at /dev/sda1. The
installer states that if this partition is selected as the boot
partition, GRUB will be installed there. Unfortunately, the option to
mount /boot is greyed out. Compounding the magnitude of the failure is
that no means exists or is documented to mount boot in this partition.
Obviously, the partition can't be deleted to accommodate this failure.
Expected behavior: The installer would recognize an existing formatted
EFI system partition with type code ef00 as the boot partition without
further configuration. The installer would go beyond saying what would
happen if such a partition was designated the boot partition, to
actually providing a means to make that designation, if the installer
wasn't up to the task.
What happened instead: Nothing. No progress is possible because the
installer can't accommodate an existing partition scheme.
