Bug Description

Sorry for the bad summary line, couldn't think of anything else that is short and to the point.

On my T420, I have two disks, and I chose the guided partitioning scheme, i.e., "Use An Entire Disk".

I was then presented with both disks, albeit with their wwns instead of friendly names (screenshot 1 attached). I select one, and the next page (screenshot 2 attached) apparently tells me that the installer will actually use both disks, and even mount "/" twice.

Ok, the main source of confusion here was then I selected "back" to restart the process without selecting "reset", and then selected another disk. The partitioner remembered the previous choice (because I didn't click reset) and then it got really confusing. What it would have done had I continued, I don't know.

I think #1848537 represents the main source of confusion I had, I'll dupe this one to that.
