[Bug 902113] [NEW] Ubiquity reports "No root file, use partitioning menu" but there is no partitioning menu

[steven at pemberton.nl]

Public bug reported:

Trying to install 11.10 on a machine with 4 partitions, and I want to
use one of the partitions.

After selecting the partition I want to use, I get a cryptic dialogue
box:

 "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the
partitioning menu."

Apart from being impossible to understand, there is no partitioning
menu.
