Comment 18 for bug 1396379

Hi, I'm tim richardson, a different entity to Red.
I just tested my instructions twice and updated the notes to make sure they are reliable. There was one error which may have been signficant: I previously said to select the EFI partition as the location to install the boot loader during the ubuntu install. In fact, it should be the device, not a partition on the device.

No one has upvoted my answer or made any comment what-so-ever, however,it seems to work.
