Bug Description

Ubuntu Installation aborted, because it isn´t able to imprort data from slice sdc1, this is a Unix Partition (PC-BSD 9.0, ufs). Installation failed.
Ist a greate problem, because I can´t Installa ubuntu - no bootloader installation - no running system.
I will try the installation without this HD, if ist ist possible. If not I cant start any installation - working system.
Thank You.

This is possibly because update-grub does not recognize the pc-bsd partition. I just installed PS-BSD on /dev/sda3 of a system which has Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows XP on it. Previously I had installed both FreeBSD and NetBSD installed in the same partition (slice ad0as3 in BSD terminology) and update-grub detected those systems, and grub.cfg was updated properly.

Note that older versions of Ubuntu weren't able to detect FreeBSD etc, but that was fixed a bit before 12.04.

See bug #432254 - which was solved by 12.04, as I stated. I suspect this install bug may be unrelated though. I still can't boot PC-BSD though.
