Ah!  A mount point must exist before you can mount something on it :-)
So, in the minishell of the Installer, you need to do a:

mkdir /usr
mount /dev/sd0g /usr

Then you can either use the minishell's install option or exit the
minishell and use the install option in the File menu.

Does this help?
