Public bug reported:

when booting a new VM using the ubuntu-22.04-live-server-amd64.iso file
(VMWare), and following the installer options, I went for a "Custom
storage layout", because I had 3 disks and wanted to use disk1
(/dev/sda) as main disk (mounted in /), disk2 (/dev/sdb) mounted under
/var/lib, and disk3 (/dev/sdc) mounted under /srv.

After formatting all devices and specifying mount points, the system
does not allow me to move on, saying "To continue you need to: Select a
boot disk

However there is nothing I can do to select one! (the option to "Use As
Boot Device" is greyed out).

If I start again fresh and choose the first disk (/dev/sda) and instead
of "Format" I go for "Use As Boot Device", the system (again) does not
allow me to move on, saying "To continue you need to: Mount a filesystem
at /" (now the option "Stop Using As Boot Device" is greyed out).

Hence, in summary, this is very confusing. It is not clear what the
installer expects (e.g. how to do things right), and there are no hints
provided.
