Public bug reported:

I always use the method from https://sfxpt.wordpress.com/2013/06/09/get-
the-debianubuntu-ready-and-customized-the-way-you-like-in-10-minutes/ to
do automatic Ubuntu net installation. It works all the way from 2012-04
to 2014-04, but not 2014-10 -- the netboot stopped at “Creating ext3
file system for /” and did not go any further.

My net install environment is Virtualbox. For  2014-10, I tried three
times, and the last time is right after a fresh PC reboot, with nothing
else running.

Once again, the automatic net install method is from
https://sfxpt.wordpress.com/2013/06/09/get-the-debianubuntu-ready-and-
customized-the-way-you-like-in-10-minutes/, it's always been the same.
Here is the disk related part:

Please investigate.
