Disk /dev/md0: 183833712 cylinders, 2 heads, 4 sectors/track

sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
 /dev/md0: unrecognized partition table type
No partitions found
Layout of the physical disks as above, /dev/md0 is a LVM2 volume with several partitions on it.
My problem was that the installer did NOT created the block device entries for /dev/hdi* and /dev/hdk*, this caused the md-driver to not find all four disks, but two only. 

Before the installers asks to reboot the system, I've manually ran

cd /target/dev
/target/usr/sbin/MAKEDEV hdi
/target/usr/sbin/MAKEDEV hdk

And the next boot is OK.

Bye,

Current versions of the installer will create more devices by default, so 
your problem should now be resolved.
