Comments/Problems:
Everything worked ok, until I tried to use partconf. I created two
partitions one for root(560 MB), the other swap (~80MB). I selected ext3
for root and swap filesystems and I selected continue. The installer
complained of not having a / mount point, but in no point did it ask for
one, or let me specify it.
So I went back to the main menu and selected partman. This one worked
perfectly. Afterwards, the main system was installed (no problems here)
and it prompted for GRUB installation. The selected disk was (hd0) and I
just pressed ok. It failed and I selected LILO instead. This worked with
some problems afterwards. LILO prompted me with the devfs name of the
disk and I pressed ok, but when I rebooted it couldn't mount root
filesystem. Apparently, in /etc/fstab it didn't use the device name but
the disklabel. I changed this manually to /dev/sda1 and rebooted.
