Is this when trying to boot from the hard disk or from the CD?

If it's the hard disk and you do not care about the current content of the
disk, you could boot the CD, use the utility menu to start a shell and
then do

  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd0c bs=1m count=5

to zero out the whole disklabel/startup code. Then exit the shell, which
returns you to sysinst and proceed with a standard installation.
Use at your own risk, have backups, etc.
