Bug Description

STEPS:
REQUIREMENTS:
1 system with no uefi or legacy boot enabled

1. Download the latest 15.10 iso
2. When you see the keyboard tap any key
3. Select a language
4. Select the bottom option "Boot from first hard disk" tap enter

EXPECTED:
I expect the system to boot from the first hard drive, this behaviour can be seen on a 14.04 daily image from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/trusty/daily-live/current/

ACTUAL:
The system says "Booting from local disk.../n Boot failed: press a key to retry" Pressing a key reboots the device, but comes back to the dvd because it is set to boot first.

This is up to me or infinity to fix for the X release. Fixing this might well involve removing the option altogether.

Booting the same "first drive" from a 14.04.3 image works - all later ones (14.10, 15.04, current wily daily) fail.

Matt, you said this was "up to you or infinity" to fix for the X release. Has it been fixed in the intervening 3 years?
