Okay... just tried the alternate installer, and the problem persists. I believe it is easily reproduced - just create a USB installer using USB startup disk creator; boot up the machine with the USB drive, and the USB drive shows up as /dev/sda, with the main hard drive as /dev/sdb. I think it is a matter of writing new udev rules to define what should be what, but I guess as a general rule, the install medium should not be /dev/sda, since that is not what the user would normally want to install ubuntu on.
