DetailsI have several partition up to hda40 on one disk. The install CD cannot handle this,
becasue there are not that many device nodes created in /dev The /dev is read only (when booting on CD), so I couldn't even run mknod(1) to create the destination partition node for / Please create enough nodes 0 .. 40 to all hda ... hdh (if you run Promise cards, the high devices might go as high as hdh) |

mount -o remount,rw /
And after that creating the mknod(1) device for the partition. Then repeating the install.
However this is clear bug in the install program. It presents the /dev/hd* choices, but
they should be in /dev as well.
I also feel that / should be "rw" during installation; especially when you might want to
drop on console.
Later 0.7.2 was released. Since this bug is not yet marked as "fixed" by the developers, I assume that is still holds.
