grub2 - How can ubiquity be forced not to install grub?

My HDD partitions:



  • esp --> sda1

  • archlinux --> sda2

  • swap --> sda3

  • sda4 --> would be a place for ubuntu


I'm going to install ubuntu on sda4; currently my boot process is controlled by systemd-boot which is installed in archlinux via bootctl software. It's fine and I'd like to keep it.


By installing Ubuntu it will try to install grub on sda or sdaX. Look at the dropdown menu at this screenshot:

I want to install Ubuntu on sda4 without dealing with grub. Then I will point to Ubuntu vmlinuz file and initrd file by creating a new entry file in archlinux under systemd-boot configuration system.
