  Ah, it might be that 'Auto' isn't working. Might have to disable this 
for PPC :(

  Try a manual partition e.g. use the arrow keys to scroll to a 
partition, and then pick 'C' to create. You will be prompted to pick 
between filesystem and swap, and if you pick filesystem, you are then 
prompted for the mountpoint.

  I generally use one big partition for '/', and one for swap and that's it.

  That's the known problem with that particular model.

Peter.
