[Bug 1062625] [NEW] Ubuquity partitioning fails to find /dev/sda

[C de-Avillez]

Public bug reported:

DVD image from 20121005. Booted brand-new system with it, selected "try
Ubuntu", verified Ubuntu worked on the system. Tried to install,
partitioning tries to install on /dev/sdc (memory stick, boot device),
and suggests /dev/sdb (DVD) for Grub.

Cancelled, opened Nautilus. Nautilus shows a disk "OS". Mounted it, got
the original Windows installed system, using all disk.

Unmounted, opened gparted -- /dev/sda is show. Resized /dev/sda3 so that
Windows will only use 100G.

Rebooted, tried to install Ubuntu -- again Ubiquity does not show
/dev/sda.

Opened this bug.
