SO: the automatic-ubiquity kernel command line option DOES start
ubiquity on boot, and it fails because it can't open the "default
display".

This is undesirable, not least because it takes 20 seconds from starting
ubiquity to it failing.

Bug description:
Using virtualbox-ose on Ubuntu Karmic + Puredyne, with a fresh virtual machine created with *no* hard disk, latest (2009-12-09) -dev iso from rsync fails to boot with an error:

"no root file system is defined: please correct this from the partitioning menu" printed over and over...

ctrl-alt-del => kills an ubiquity process before shutting down.

Removing "automatic-ubiquity" from the kernel boot options line makes it boot to XFCE4 desktop as normal.
