[Bug 1876559] Re: Installer crashed while attempting to create bootloader

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thank you for your bug report, could you give some details on how to
selecting the partioning options?

The log has warnings similar to 
May  3 08:59:03 ubuntu ubiquity: The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
May  3 08:59:03 ubuntu ubiquity: Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
May  3 08:59:03 ubuntu ubiquity: partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
May  3 08:59:03 ubuntu ubiquity: NTFS signature is missing.
May  3 08:59:03 ubuntu ubiquity: Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2'
May  3 08:59:03 ubuntu ubiquity: : Invalid argument

Which suggests it's trying to mount ntfs partitions and failing for some
reason

Bug description:
  I not able to provide many other details, as this was a clean image of
