I still can't really understand what you mean by 'cannot modify the hard
drive in any obvious way'. Are you saying it does not display any
existing partitions? Can you provide a screenshot or a precise
description of what you see, and how it looks different in a BIOS
install?

There actually is a somewhat obscure utility in anaconda that was meant
to do this, but I don't think it works any more. As long as you have a
network connection, you can just switch to ctrl-alt-f2, find the log
files in /tmp , and 'fpaste' or 'scp' them out.
