Public bug reported:
I did a fresh erase install over an old Mac OS X installation on a Core
2 Duo MacBook Pro. I didn't have the ethernet cable connected at the
time. The download updates check box was grayed out. The installation
completed. I logged in and noticed that I couldn't configure the wifi
network via the System Settings panel. I realized that installation
probably needed to download a BroadCom 3rd Party binary package. I
figured that I didn't really configure anything, or have anything to
loose, so I decided to connect the Ethernet cable and re-install Ubuntu.
After option-boot into the SD card, the media I used for the initial
installation as well, a radio box selection appears, including "Re-
install Ubuntu 16 LTS only" or something along those lines. It said it
would use as much of the existing system as possible and leave the home
directories. I figured, that sounds like what I want. (It was also the
first option.) That started along, but then complained that there wasn't
an EFI partition for boot loader and it said this is not the same as the
/boot partition. So I added a EFI System Partition in some free space
of 134MB towards the end of the drive. Then it complained about two
partitions that will mount in /boot and to change the mount point of one
of them. The new partition that I made did not have a mount point in
the list. Didn't get past that. Then it ended up back in the radio box
selection for which type of installation to perform. I selected the
next one on the list, Erase and Install. It re-partitioned and then I
selected the option to download updates while installing. Then the
installation failed.
