Bug Description

When I choose "custom layout" the ESP of the installation medium cannot be chosen as mount point.
This is how I am testing on QEMU:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M of=disk count=1 seek=16383
/usr/bin/
-bios /usr/lib/
-kernel /usr/lib/
-device virtio-
-netdev user,id=
-drive if=none,
-device ich9-ahci,id=ahci \
-device ide-hd,
-drive if=none,
-device ide-hd,
-device virtio-rng-pci
