Yes, you're 100% right... that's exactly the problem. If you're installing to a hard disk of 100gig or greater, the Beta 4 installer and the Testing Candidate 1 installer will fail, giving you no real error messages, etc.
I was able to verify this, and with a little disk-juggling, got this working.
I didn't see this in the BTS.... have you filed a bug report on it? I'd say this was a pretty major problem that while easy to fix, really needs to be corrected in TC1.
Once again, Dan, thanks so much for your help!

I have tried the Beta 4 Sarge installer, Beta 4 Net Installer, and Testing Candidate 1 Net Install (all for i386) and my installs always die at Installing the Base System. (I always do a clean install, letting the installer use the entire disk).
How large is your disk? I was running into similar issues, and it turns out base-installer at some point runs `df /target/` to determine the target disk. If your disk is large enough, the "1k-blocks" column runs into the "Filesystem" column, adding all manner of digits to the end of the filesystem address.
My email on the issue is under the subject "Installer fails on initrd-tools"
