Title:
  Installer fails to find disk to install

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Testcase: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1469/info

  Since this test needs some wireless, I did it on some real hw. In this
  case the desktop happens to have a card reader with an additional USB
  port. And in that USB port the ISO (on a USB key) is connected. The
  ISO ends up being sda, while the disk is sdb.

  According to the test case:
  - System gets booted until the greeter offers the choice between "test" and "install"
  - Since there is no ethernet connection the next screen is the wireless connect
  - From there the next dialogue is titled "Installation type" but it looks like the partitioner

  In that partitioner I initially used an existing LVM volume for the install but that failed on the grub installation (and the
  dialogue for alternate grub location allows no manual typing and did not show the disk which contained the LVM volume).
  So I erased the disk completely (no partition table left). Repeating the steps above, I again end up in the partitioner which only shows sda (but that is the USB installation media!).
