No, you are not creating "/"..."/" exists already or you wouldn't be 
running un*x. While you are in sysinst, you are booted into a memory 
file system "/" that is part of the install kernel. The partition 
that WILL be the future "/" is supposed to mount under /mnt or /mnt2 
(one is for the install medium, the other is for the destination).

What sets are you trying to install? You may be pushing it to try 
installing everything into 100MBs, but I don't recall the size of the 
tarballs unpacked ATM. On my alpha, the binary tarballs for just base 
and comp are around 40MBs compressed, so they would likely fill up 
the whole drive alone.
