Title:
  install crashed after grub failed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installing from 11.10 AMD64 + Mac iso on a CD.
  Used incorrect custom HD partitioning, where GRUB install failed. When warned that GRUB failed, it prompted for a new location and worked. Installer finished up and hung saying "Installation has finished. You can continue testing  Ubuntu now, but until you restart the computer, any changes you make or documents you save will not be preserved." Unable to click either Continue or Restart.
