I think it was the early June install floppy for port-macppc, and I 
tried to create just a single partition (with swap).  No dice.

Actually I first tried to tell it to use existing partitioning.  No 
dice there either, but I didn't expect that to work.

Now that you mention it when I installed 1.4.1 on a PC from one of 
Bob's CDs I didn't have that problem.
