Reefa's partitioning scheme is:
{WinXP, Ubuntu root, 128GB big NTFS, Ubuntu swap}
Assuming that this is a case of grub getting the wrong 'root=', then
following the chain back we get:
20:05 sladen cjwatson: which part of ubiquity selects the partitions to be
passed to grub post-install?

'/dev/hdb' is a Zip drive, '/dev/hdc' is the optical.

After install: /bin/sh: Can't access tty;
cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name

Seems like the kernel isn't reading the partition table, even if 'fdisk'
is managing to.

aswell please. In 'gparted', 'hda1' and 'hda4' would be on the same
level as they are primary partitions; 'hda5' and above will probably be
indented as they are secondary
