We know about this error. We have fixed it in the source tree, and the next
snapshot will be corrected.

Assuming that you know how to use the "vi" editor, you can change this with 

export TERM=vt220
vi install

there are 3 lines:

md_native_fsopts() {
        echo "-ro"
}

replace the middle one by
        echo "ro"

"disklabel" didn't _work_ in 1.1... you could only use it to read the
translated RDB partitiontable. This hasn't changed, and apparently it isn't
used by the install script, so its not there.

[Hm... comments please...  should it be in there, and give you a
listing of the available partitions?]

- assuming you read the INSTALL document and followed instructions, you have
prepared them already using HDTOOLBOX or a similar tool.

At that point, the install script asks you which partitions to use
additionally to "sd1a" and where to mount them.
