Cannot partition scsi drive

[Jim Seymour <bluejay@speedfactory.net>]

	I am at an impasse with the current debian installer using 
diskettes. All seems to go fine until I am asked about partitioning 
the drive. If I choose manual partitioning the screen flashes 
something to quick for me to read and comes back saying no partition 
has been assigned to root. If I choose automatic partitioning the same 
thing happens. It does not ever give me a chance to select a drive to 
partition. The scsi controller is an LSI LSIU160 using the 53c1010 
chipset. I have also tried the woody and bf24 boot floppy methods and 
have been able to partition the drive using the bf24 diskettes but keep 
hitting a roadblock further into the install with diskette problems 
while loading the driver disks. Anyone else had a problem with 
partitioning a scsi drive using the new debian installer? Ideas?

Thanks,

Jim
