I ran into this issue again today, since 20101020ubuntu585 became
outdated and I moved over to 20101020ubuntu586 / current.

On DASD selection I now get again:
     ┌──────┤ [!!] Configure direct access storage devices (DASD) ├──────┐

Title:
  Installation on z14 LPAR via FTP load fails

Bug description:
  Installation on z14 LPAR via FTP load fails. The installer breaks with
  error message

  "An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item
  again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing
  step is: Install the ZIPL boot loader on a  hard disk"

  When opening a shell:
  ~ # chroot target/ bash
  root at m35lp54:/# zipl
  Using config file '/etc/zipl.conf'
  Error: Config file '/etc/zipl.conf': No such file or directory

  After creating a working zipl.conf the boot loader can be written to disk on the shell and the disk becomes bootable. The Installer however still fails with the same error message.
