Bug Description
install.py crashed with AssertionError in __init__(): Failed to mount the target: /target
During installation.
1. Create a efi system partition
2. Create a /boot partition
3. Create a luks encrypted partition
4. Delete the auto-created filesystem added to the luks /dev/mapper device.
5. Create a partition table on the luks-encrypted /dev/mapper device.
6. Add a partition for / on the luks device.
7. Add a partition for /mnt/otheros on the luks device
8. Add a partition for /home on the luks device
9. Continue normally.
10. Installer crashed dialog.
I was attempting to create a 3-partition setup under a single luks device so that password entry would only need to happen once. This should theoretically be possible, but it crashed the installer.
