Comments/Problems:
A couple of issues:
The display of partition sizes appears to be all screwed up (see the
first attached screenshot).
Attempt to mount /dev/sdb2 as / on /target fails with "invalid
argument" (see second attached screenshot). My guess is that it
happens because mount gets an argument -t ext3, while the partition is
ext4, and mounts fine from the shell if I do not specify a type
argument. Perhaps, mke2fs default has changed without installer being
aware of it?
Best regards,
