I don't get that opportunity.
The crash happens at the end of the install during the hardware configuration IIRC. My effort to make a screenshot and save it to an USB stick failed.

The installer has some problems with UFS. From the dmesg:
Code: Select all

After the installer crashed I can still use the Live DVD. From an xterm I can even mount the OpenBSD UFS file system and read from it:

$ sudo mkdir /u
$ sudo mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd -o ro /dev/sda1 /u

My previous two Ubuntu installs also had problems with UFS but somehow seemed to cope with it.
Is there any way I can pass the correct UFS type parameter for the UFS mount?

Any pointers?
