Bug Description

Precise Desktop Beta2 amd64+mac

In the manual partitioner, the list of partition types doesn't include 'biosgrub' and installation cannot continue on a disk without an existing partition of this type.

Ideally the partitioner will create it automatically if it doesn't already exist.

The manual partitioner isn't going to create it automatically, but it's
certainly a bug that you can't create it manually.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.10.5

---------------
ubiquity (2.10.5) precise; urgency=low

  * Exit early from ubiquity_webcam_play and ubiquity_webcam_stop if priv or
    priv->camerabin is NULL.
  * Clear disks from the partman plugin's disk cache if any partitions on
    that disk change, allowing us to notice disk label changes.
  * Fix GPT detection when deciding whether to display the biosgrub method
    (LP: #969038).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.55ubuntu2,
    partman-partitioning 85ubuntu1.
