Expanding on this slightly - I did have this problem on one of the
machines I tested with.  What Randi means by having sysinstall rescan
devices is go into the "Options" section.  Inside the Options Editor on
the right side column there is an entry for "Re-scan Devices".  Please
use that and then try a normal install.  That seemed to work for me on
the one machine I had this glitch with.
