    You do not need a separate /boot partition unless you have an LVM setup (used in dm-crypt setups).
Run ubiquity -b to open the installer with the option of skipping grub installation (since we're using systemd-boot).
When you get to the screen "Ubuntu has finished installation" choose Continue testing.
Open a Terminal.
Chroot into the new system.
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt # replace /dev/sda5 with wherever it is you installed Ubuntu
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi # this is where Ubuntu mounts the ESP
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
chroot /mnt
This will set systemd-boot to be our default:
