Public bug reported:
I've noticed lots of people around the web posting that they are not
able to boot legacy computers with the live disk as they get a grub
command error followed by a black screen and a blinking cursor , i've
just confirmed this issue when trying to boot legacy computers with
Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo)
If you look at the freshly written image with Gnome disks , 1st ubuntu
partition , click the cog wheel and choose edit partition you'll notice
that the build team have not enabled the Legacy BIOS bootable option?
If you enable it and click change the drive will now boot , there is
still a really long 20 second pause with a black screen and blinking
cursor but it eventually swaps over to the Ubuntu boot logo and starts.
