Depends on how it failed. The last three entries in the main menu
are:

  Save debug logs
  Execute a shell
  Abort the installation

You can use the first one and follow its instructions. You can use
the second, and type suitable mount/cp/umount commands to achieve
the same thing.

During the installation, if you get a shell, then

  # more /var/log/syslog

will allow you to pick over the logs, rather like less does, with
the disadvantage that you can't go backwards. If you overshoot the
lines of interest, you have to run the more command again.

Cheers,
David.
