Hi Scott,

happens too on my box.

> Click that and I see the disk, click Continue.

Ooops, that was the culprit. I did not click on "continue" inside the
storage window in this situation (this is similar to the sahara
desert/timbuktu). What I did was clicking on "back" for additionally
configuring other things like language or timezone.

Now I can try a real install.

Thanks a lot for your help :-)

Kind regards
