Did you read the document that comes with the distribution?  I'm
pretty sure it is mentioned somewhere in the doc that only SCSI hard
drives are supported at the moment.  You need an external SCSI drive.

Although there's an experimental IDE device driver for the kernel, the
installation tools have not been converted to support IDE drives just
yet.

[IDE driver status report]
Currently I'm out of idea.  It's much harder to debug a driver without
the hardware at your hand.  I might be getting a loaner 630 or
something.  Stay tuned.
