If I guess correctly, this is the next step after specifying the filesystem configuration, i.e. partitioning/LVM/disk encryption. Did you specify a root filesystem? In other words, when you chose where to install the OS, did you specify a mount point of/anywhere? Or if you used automatic partitioning, it should have displayed a screen with the filesystem layout, perhaps a text-based version of Figure 4.10 on this page. Exactly what did it say?

OK, looks like a pretty basic partition layout, nothing obviously wrong there. Now, after the installer has stopped with the error, hold down the left Alt key and press each of the function keys (F1, F2, F3 etc.) in turn. This will switch your view between Linux's different virtual consoles. One of these should contain the installation program's log messages: if there are errors, they would give a clue of what's going wrong. You may be able to use Shift + PageUp/PageDown keys to scroll the view back a bit to see more.
