I just retried a 20.10 installation with a special subiquity build from edge that includes the fix https://github.com/canonical/probert/pull/100 "subiquity 20.09.1+git94.42b4aec4 2094 latest/edge canonical* classic"

The DASD FBA devices also seem to be properly activated now: root@ubuntu-server:/# lszdev dasd-fba --online TYPE ID ON PERS NAMES dasd-fba 0.0.0101 yes yes dasda dasd-fba 0.0.0102 yes yes dasdb dasd-fba 0.0.0103 yes yes dasdc dasd-fba 0.0.0104 yes yes dasdd root@ubuntu-server:/# In /var/crash I can see several entries - some are due to the fact that I had to restart the installer after having subiquity updated to the edge-version, others are probably the old dasdview error (due to DASD FBA) that is now properly written to disk ...
