[OmniOS-discuss] [Bug] Installer crashes on disk selection

[lukas]

Hello,
I stumbled upon an Bug in the OmniOS Installer where it crashes on the
"Disks" Screen of the Installer. It happens at least in "OmniOS_Text_r151020.iso"
and "OmniOS_Text_bloody_20170117.iso" when used together with an Paravirtualized
Disk Driver inside an VM.

How to Reproduce
================

On an Debian Stretch host, Run an Qemu VM with the "virtio" Disk Interface:

kvm -k de -smp 2 -drive file=OmniOS.img,if=virtio,format=raw -m 512M -monitor stdio -net nic,model=e1000 -net user -cdrom OmniOS_Text_r151020.iso -vnc :0

The same also happens with Xen.
