OK, this rings a bell. As I mentioned at the very top, I was "working
around the cdrom detection problem using
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/120316/comments/7"

This means that prior to booting the guest install image, I added
"ata_piix.blacklist=yes" to the kernel options - and proceeded with a
normal command line installation.

As I was able to see the hd during installation I possibly wrongly
assumed that the driver was available, I did not take the time to
investigate the actual semantics of this option ... does this make
sense ?
