I have attached the crash install logs and a screen shot of the Storage 
Configuration panel.  As you can see the "Add VTOC Partition" is not 
highlighted and cannot be selected.  Going back to the DASD storage.  You can 
configure 3390 DASD in multiples of a 3390 MOD1 so you're not limited to the 
traditional 3390 sizes such as 3390 MOD3, 3390 MOD9, 3390 MOD27, and 3390 
MOD54.  The DASD storage I defined is a 3390 MOD60 (60 * MOD1).  I did not 
format it in z/VM using CPFMTXA.  The storage defined has never been used.  We 
dedicated to the guest which we have done for past install of Ubuntu 18.04 and 
other Linux on IBM Z distros.  We never had a problem.  Thinking that it may be 
that it isn't formatted may be the problem, I format the DASD in z/VM using 
CPFMTXA.  Still have the same problem.  From you screen shot you provided with 
a volser of LX0200, the DASD looks like it has been used before by Linux and 
was formatted using dasdfmt.

As for the subiquity installer looking for updates at the beginning and
if there is one, it let's you know and offers to update itself, I don't
get it in the beginning.  I do get it on a reinstall.  I did request the
update, but it did not resolve my DASD having 0B of storage.  Going into
the shell and doing a dasdfmt on the DASD did solved my problem.  The
correct size of 50GB shows up on a reinstall, but having to go into the
shell and doing a dasdfmt is pretty awkward during an installation.  I
did experience multiple crash going back and forth.

A question about parmfile.  The parmfile line is limited to 80
characters.  Is there a way to continue pass 80 characters.  I need to
specify addition DNS.  I need a total of 2.  the ip line just fits the
ip information with 1 DNS.  Probably that is why I'm not prompted for
the installer update in the beginning but subsequently after I add the
second DNS during the install.
