A screenshot would be way better for us to understand what happens than vague sentences :) The missing mtab thing is probably just a warning, and the real problem is the errors on hd0s1, which you just need to fix by running e2fsck by hand from the rescue shell. > P.S this is an old laptop that could have bad sectors.

To avoid them, I'd advise to use a rescue disk to run badblocks and then pass the result to "mke2fs -o hurd", and then run the installer and make it use the already-formated volumes instead of reformating them.
