Bug Description
Whenever I do a normal "Erase disk" install, I end up with an unbootable system.
I get dropped to an initramfs prompt with the message "ALERT! /dev/vda5 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
But when I do "ls /dev/vda5", it is there... I tried adding "rootdelay=30", but that just made the boot wait for 30 seconds longer before failing in the same way.
In the attached logs, I was using the 20200409 image with Ubiquity 20.04.9.

I just got it as well.
Did a first normal and successful install with ZFS. Booted successfully
Reused the disk with an ext4 "Erase disk" installation -> failed.
This is using the image 20200423.
