So, /dev/sda4 and 5 were not created in MacOS, right? Or if they
were, they were deleted and re-created in fdisk using the c command?

It's too early in the installation for there to be much in /target.

It's that way for the ease of new users who are using bootable CDs.

This won't work with the woody installer, it expects to find
a differently-formatted and differently-named base file. I
think you must have been using a potato installer, or woody
before version 3.0 (pre April 2001). What's wrong with potato's
macinstall?

Where is your howto, maybe I can give you some pointers on what's
changed. woody would probably fit, and you have enough memory, are
you determined to have potato? The kernel is the same.
