Huh? There must be *something* different, considering you'd be setting
the password yourself in this case!? 
What do you mean by "piping to bash", and what exactly does it do when
the installer stops? Complete lockup, crashing installer (so you get
thrown out to a shell), hanging installer (but you can steill switch
consoles), something else? If it's anything but the former, try running
dmesg on another console when the installer fails, and see if there are
any hints.

cheers!
