Title:
  When installing 12.04, having a small boot partition crash the
  installer

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If you create a separate boot partition which is too small, the
  installer crash later in the process (somewhere after the user
  details).

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the live CD, choose install
  2. In the partitionning, create these partitions
  - boot partition (sda1) of 20 Mb (ext2)
  - root partition (sda5) of 10 Gb (ext4 or btrfs)
  - swap partition (sda6) of 1Gb
  3. commit changes
  4. Fill in the other screens (included user infos)
  5. The installer crash

  For my part, I've done that in a VM

  Step to avoid the problem:
  Same steps, with a boot partition of 200Mb will solve the problem.

  I personnaly tried with ubuntu 12.04 destop 32 and 64 bits, and server
  64 bits. They all gave me the same results

  Proposed solution:
  Why not having a warning about the size of the boot partition?

  Thank you for your support
