I had the same problem, as far as I remember the install script on the CD 
is broken. I read the script, figured what it did (or what was it supposed 
to do) and after booting from the CD I did it manually (killed the script 
after creating the root partition). I had to read a few man pages but at the 
end it worked out quite easy.
