With the earlier installers, it blithely stumbles along and tries to
mount, even if it didn't find a root partition(very bad :-(.. ).  It's
fixed in Installer 1.1b.  How did you create the root partition??
Is it of type "A/UX Root & Usr slice 0"??  Does it occur within the
first 8 partitions of the partition map??
