Have you specified the geometry of your drive correctly? If your geometry
is currently some untranslated values (usual result being the number of
cylinders >1024) then sysinst might be specifying the partitions in that
untranslated geometry. I'm not privy to the internals of sysinst, though,
this is just my best guess as to what might be going on.

Not sure what might be happening here, but it might be worth forgetting about
names altogether and just trying to do everything with IP addresses. That's
all that is needed when you get right down to it, and it cuts out a lot of
other places where things might be going wrong.
