maybe you can log that message with booting with debug=mem and dmesg? See
quickinstall docs (you _are_ using debian 2.2?).

amiga-fdisk (fdisk) in Linux should work fine in debian2.2. Did you actually
_format_ the partitions? That should be the next step after partitioning (in
the installer).

Looks good (how did you get this strange df output? It list quite a lot more
usually). However partitioning is not enough, the partitions have to be
formatted. When you partition the disk, you just give a "name" to the
partitions, its no problem to format an ados partitions with the linux ext2
filesystem. If it does not work from your installer (it _should_):
mke2fs /dev/hda5
mkswap /dev/hda4
But better do it from within the installer, since it has to mount the
partion to continue.
