Title:
  failed storage configuration at install of ubuntu-22.04-server

Status in subiquity:
  New
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  when booting a new VM using the ubuntu-22.04-live-server-amd64.iso
  file (VMWare), and following the installer options, I went for a
  "Custom storage layout", because I had 3 disks and wanted to use disk1
  (/dev/sda) as main disk (mounted in /), disk2 (/dev/sdb) mounted under
  /var/lib, and disk3 (/dev/sdc) mounted under /srv.

  After formatting all devices and specifying mount points, the system
  does not allow me to move on, saying "To continue you need to: Select
  a boot disk

  However there is nothing I can do to select one! (the option to "Use
  As Boot Device" is greyed out).

  If I start again fresh and choose the first disk (/dev/sda) and
  instead of "Format" I go for "Use As Boot Device", the system (again)
  does not allow me to move on, saying "To continue you need to: Mount a
  filesystem at /" (now the option "Stop Using As Boot Device" is greyed
  out).

  Hence, in summary, this is very confusing. It is not clear what the
  installer expects (e.g. how to do things right), and there are no
  hints provided.
