Do I understand correctly that no partitions were shown at all? Or were
other types of partitions shown, but not the UFS partitions?
UFS modules are not loaded by default by the installer, but are available
in expert mode.
Could you try again, booting the installer with "expert". At some point
you will get a screen "Load installer components ..." and there you can
select ufs-modules for UFS filesystem support.
If you then proceed to partitioning and select "manual partitioning", I
hope you will be able to see the UFS partitions.
Doing this will not damage your existsing installation, as long as you
back out at this point and do not actually make any changes in the
partitioning.
I would be interested to see the syslog and partman log files from the
installation. These should be saved in /var/log/install on your installed
system.
Cheers,
